Mehdi Akhavan Salles, who is considered as an influential figure of modern poetry, has expressed his critical views on traditional poetry. There is a rumor that he has been in complete opposition to traditional poetry. Considering that the image is one of the basic elements of every type of poetry, examining the reflection of the poetic images of ancient poets in Akhavan’s poems makes it possible to understand the extent of his connection or non-connection with the ancient poetic heritage. The research data were collected in a library method. The analysis of the data showed that, in spite of the contrast between modern and traditional poetry, the presence of the poetic images of ancient Persian poets in the poems of Akhavan Sales is explicit but partial. The same images are used with new concepts or in new contexts. These images are significantly reflected in the poem of ‘the Brotherhood’.   With the emergence of new poetry, a confrontation was created between the fans of modern and traditional poetry.
