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. Expressive and loaded with the concerns of the self and the suffering of the group. Despite that trouble, the popular poet tended to create a beautiful image that made the desert a paradise in which he could live with the clarity of its days. When the sun sets and casts its rays on the soft sand that no one has walked on, it shines like gold and the colors fade when the sun sets. And the creatures that live in the desert do not… It must be an image like the image of the camel, which we call the ship of the desert, because God created it to adapt to the desert and its difficult conditions. Everything in the desert is characterized by beauty, so it inspired popular poets, and they sang of its beauty and were creative in mentioning its various images.

Keywords: Image of the desert, popular poetry.
