This study aims at analyzing poetry regarding the correlation of its structure with the cultural context, i.e. the circumstances in which it was written, published, and interpreted. This depends on two major points, The first is the poem itself, and the second is the narrative that accompanies it, which will be discussed as a literary structure that contributes to acknowledging the non-linguistic aspects of the poem. The study also aims at approaching the poetry of Marwan Ibn AbiHafsa on a deliberative and semantic level with the help of modern critical theories using two of his poems, one poem is lament, and the other is panegyric. This approach is in view of the accompanying political, historical, and social conditions that are related to the rhetorical situation. Keywords: Poetry, Cultural context, Marwan Ibn AbiHafsa, Semantic and rhetorical situation.
