The study, employing a descriptive-analytical approach, is divided into two main axes: The first axis extensively covers the poet's biography and literary output, as well as his poetic culture. The second axis focuses on studying the use of colloquial dialects in his poetic texts and reveals the linguistic duality between formal and colloquial Arabic. The poet incorporates numerous common vernacular terms in his poetry collection "Letters Resembling Rain". The research concludes with a summary of the researcher's key findings.
