Abstract

This paper is investigated and collected poetry of some poets from Basrah (Al-Fadl al-Raqashi, Sa'id ibn Wahab, and Muhammad ibn Umayya ibn Abi Umayyah). It found there were not writers who gathered their poetry despite interested the writers in their poetry. It is through their collection of poems. I found them to be independent poets who most of their poems were a few pieces which have the same features that were famous for the poets of the Abbasid era of their contemporaries. Also, the researcher found that Al-Raqashi is distinguished with a specific feature in his poetry which is (Lamentations). Most of the pieces were in the laments of Baramka and some of them in praise and spelling or other. The poet Saeed bin Wahab was one of the poets of Ghazal (love poetry), but then he repented and led an ascetic life, and went to Hajj on his feet, but he did not mention his penitence in his poetry afterwards.
