Abstract:
Royaee invented and introduced a style in Persian poetry which he named Spacement Poetry. His poetry renewed debate about the relative value of form and context in modern Persian Poetry. The present article is a semiotic study of narration in his poem named “Sokoot Daste Gol-I Bood” (Silence seemed a bouquet of flower in my larynx)، from his Sea Poems. The findings of the research show that he has employed an implied narration; narration occurs using repetitive spacements in short lines، without using any explicit narrative elements. This differentiated his poetry from the prevailed poetry of the time- symbolism، and romanticism.
Machine summary:
The sound of wet thunder, and light, brighter than lightning, in the water, created a mirror that had a frame of light from the flames of the sea; the breeze, the kiss, your eyelid, and the bird, became fire and smoke in my throat, Silence was a bouquet of flowers (Ro'yaee, 1387: 316-317).
The structural difference between these two phrases from a semiotic perspective is that the first phrase utilizes signs with an iconic aspect and direct connotation, possessing symbolic coding.
(Royaee, 1387: 462) The complexity of the structure in this type of poetry can be observed in the abundance of codes with a limited distribution, compared to codes with a widespread distribution (Shore song / The breeze was my kiss and your eyelid was open, Waters / The bird was restless, and Brighter lightning / Made a mirror in the water) The poet places common words in a circular and suspended structure and, by doing so, in addition to being faithful to the use of the prevailing language, creates a text that is a poem.
The low frequency of extra-linguistic codes (over the waters/ the bird was impatient) in the poem 'Royayi' is an indication that repetitions and references in this type of poetry are formal repetitions rather than conceptual ones, and in these repetitions, there is an attempt to use the capacities of sign and language.
