Imagination, as a major genre of literary works, plays a major role in the construction of these works, especially poetry. Imagination comes as a motivating tool for the poet; Because, the poet can create productivity and convey his main objective message through a blind imagination. Literary imagination is different from ordinary imagination for the poet; The poet lives as a social person in the midst of time and society. The poet takes his subject from society, but the production of that subject is created by the poet through his artistic images and literary imagination.
