Abstract:
This research examines the rhythmic structure in the poetry of Idris Jamaah and explores it ways of dealing with and adherence to its balancing rhymes. It concludes that he was - in most of his poetry – a traditional poet and that he paralleled modern poets systems on basing his poetry on (Al- Mutagareb and Al-mutdarek); and in changing between the absolute and partial rhythms in a poem, and poets of Abbasid and Andalusian period in the Roubayat and Muwashahat. Besides, he combined his internal music with the many elements of contrasting (horizontal and vertical), and repetition; however his poetry has not been without pitfalls.
