1. Construction of the collection of the poet’s words:

A word can enter a sentence with its elementary or the first image in order to be served with its neatest shape. The domain of a poet’s words provides the hits of the language and the images in all parts of the work. the more we use the connected abundance of words in the construction of  a sentence, the more we give the possibility to our mind and the internal language  ,but it differs with repeating

words or using specified words that have been formed  in a repeated construction in the same mind texture and must be discarded from this category. for example, if we use the word “ tulip “ and we want to imply exactly what  Sepehri wants-with the same way of expression-we have just used a used word that has no image, or using the word “sun” like the” Ayehaye Zamini” by Forough Farrokhzad with the same shape and expectation for indicating the place of the image whenever we have to use the pulsation of the same poem in the poem’s texture or even thousands of examples by Akhavan and Shamloo. it doesn’t mean that any other word mustn’t be used ,but the meaning is the presence of the conception of  mind that causes the poet to use the domain of words that can be able to submit himself to moving  in the same emotional environment.

It must be found that how much the poet has been successful to do this affair and how he has been able to gain the language independence.

“The pious people of night, severe castles, castles of conception, wet drunk, the Solomon of grief ,Maya, the long wine-colored hairs ,horn, the age of catapult ,the crescent of hair, the break of light, the green cube, the space of dust, the olive-designed form of water, the red-colored wing horse, the foot of the Devil ,the dense era, the radius of water ,the sorrowful whale, the owner of the trap ,the conducting of poem, the ballet of the leaves of autumn ,the shade of almond trees, the strange glass of Hazaragan ,slapped ,staggering, the ran-away gazelle of could ,long win-colored hairs, the castle of cancer ,brushes, the sands of desert, Bamian ,Bokhara ,national anthem, stand straight ,the factory of creation, the Arabian Ney Anbany(a wind instrument),…”.

It doesn’t mean that these words haven’t been used till now, but they submit themselves to their independent presence and they take shape beside the other words in the texture of the sentences that can convey the image to readers.

The simple movement of the images over the surface of the sentences causes the extension of the images and the extension of the content.

For example, somewhere it is said:

"and this is the method of the pious people of night"  .a  statement sentence for saying something that has the identity of contrast between  “piousness” and “wine” - without causing any crack of construction in words or with additional description or getting involved in constructing words for expressing news.

Or:

And “staggering” in meanings, A sentence that creates movements easily with a method in which an image is brought in “staggering” and this becomes much more specified when this movement is required to take shape in homelessness or an imaginary presence, Somewhere called “meanings”. A place in which the way of its circular movement is not evident. This movement comes to a second-timed conception with using the word “and “, it means that where we get the point that this behavior has been repeated for several times. a movement which comes after the previous sentence indicates that this sentences is connected to the previous sentence in a stable way and still needs to be continued and this means that the given image must be seated in the exact place that has been brought and must communicate with its previous and latter sentences.

 “The eyes are coming to end like a dense era”

An “eye” has its own image with any amount of quantity that the reader wants it to be indicated .stimulation  takes place with using the word “dense” and after that the verb

 “  coming to the end ”that is brought  for  “ dense era “and  also finds a meaning for the  “ eye “.in fact we reach a arranged sentence with using an unarranged  appearance.

There is not any sight proportion  among ”eye” “era” ”dense" “,but they are seated beside each other easily and we have only an image by “coming to the end ” that comes to the end. An “eye” that has placed the “era “and the “dense “and in itself and id actually themselves.  In fact we create another image with using its defined image in another language contrast in the poem.

“In the way of the gods of beauty and the beginning day

And Ayoob and Solomon of grief… “

using a word where it doesn’t exist and taking an image which doesn’t exist in -where a word leaves the acquainted image and the poet takes advantage from it in another way.-.in fact the poet founds an special language contrast and also founds the other words that are putted together in an opposite image texture in a way that the reader is conducted from a collection to an image and that is what the poet and in fact the work want.
