Abstract
Riffaterre's theory is one of the most important modern critical methods that seeks to clarify the concepts of literary works, especially contemporary poetry, and tries to discover mysterious literary concepts and convey them to the readers of these works. This theory is based on two types of reading; The first reading is exploratory reading and the second reading is post-active reading, which is used to separate the basic concepts of the text in order to understand its most basic meaning. The authors of this research analyzed two odes from the poetry collection of Jassim al-Sahih, a contemporary and outstanding poet of the Arab world, which in a way represents his poetic style and circumstances by applying this theory of semiotics, in a descriptive and analytical way. One of the results obtained in this research is that the poet has borrowed a lot from the homeland, nature and living creatures in writing his poems and identified with them in order to convey many great poetic concepts to his audience. Although most of his poetic concepts are discoverable for the readers, their complete understanding depends on the reader himself and his analytical method, which the use of Riffaterre's critical method helps significantly in this matter. Despite the fact that he has hidden a part of his existence and history in the shadow of his verses, his poetry is alive and dynamic in the passage of time in sync with nature for the use of humans
