It aims to reveal the extent to which poets respond to these issues and how they employ poetic art to express them in eloquent Arabic that embodies beauty and creativity. The study adopts an analytical rhetorical approach, selecting representative poetic texts from the works of prominent poets in the Yoruba literary scene. These texts are analysed in terms of imagery, music, rhetoric, and emotion.
