Abstract:
This research study examines the rhythmic structure of Bashar ibn Burd’s poetry, in
terms of the use of various prosody measures, employing rhymes with its two absolute
and unrestricted variants, its forms and manifestations, and the sounds of letters , preceded
by the sounds and movements, and the subsequent transformations affecting them. It also
addresses the accompanying rhythmic effects that contributed to the enrichment of the
rhythmic structure such as Leonine rhyme, alliteration, Epanalepsis , redundancy, and
internal rhymes.
