Abstract

Industrial place: It is the place that a person creates in search of safety. It is the environment that embraces him and consists of the house, especially with its different names, such as a house or a home. It is the place of a persons residence and the place of his stability in general. It is within its framework that family and social relationships are formed.If we look closely at our ancient Arabic poetry, we notice the poets connection to the place, and the first image in it is represented by him standing on the ruins of the homes of his loved ones, what he identified from the ruins of the homes and the drawing that was attached to the ground, and it is said, May God live, Talak wa Talak.Pre-Islamic poets, since Imru al-Qais, have begun their poems by standing over the ruins, crying over the homes, and continuing to describe them. They made this a quasi-technical rule, which they did not deviate from except in rare circumstances. Until the greatest artistic means of opening poems for poets became standing at home .As for Ibn al-Dahans poetry, I mentioned several artificial places that depict his attachment to the land, homeland, and home. They made him unleash his imagination and express his emotions in beautiful images that tell of his attachment to the place in which he lived or took refuge. He depicted his feelings, which reveal what is inside him of suffering, alienation, or longing.
