Citation Abstract: This study attempted to investigate the image of the desert in popular poetry. This type of poetry was truly its reflective mirror and its own record that preserved its heritage and popular memory. Thus, the desert and its images occupied a wide area of popular poetry and sat on its throne, so that popular poets wandered through its vast expanses and sang of its reality. Spatial space in all its dimensions, they traversed its valleys and valleys day and night on arduous and arduous journeys and dangerous adventures. In the atmosphere of this vast desert, the popular poet soared with a wild imagination. He photographed the wonderful images of the desert whenever his eye came across. He photographed the stars and planets and sang of the moon and its beauty, the tent and its holiness, and the horses and camels and their companions. Just as the desert was the companion and companion of the popular poet, he broadcast to her his worries and suffering, so his poems were heavy with images.
