Abstract
The artistic image, with all its sensory and moral manifestations, constitutes an important artistic technique that is included in almost any creative text, whether visual, audio, or verbal. Poetry is one of the creative texts that are based on the image. A poetic composition includes various components, which are intertwined: reality and imagination, language and thought, myth and symbol, visual sense and visual sense, ego and the world and others. They all fit and intertwine to compose a poetic vision that contributes effectively to the production of the text.From here comes the importance of studying the poetic image semiotically, since this approach treats the meaning and considers it as a second language (meta-language) in relation to the world of meaning. It is believed to be a subject for analysis, and does not fall into a simple explanation that restores differently the basic data according to the principle of equivalence, but rather delves into a number of data produced by the word and the sentence according to the principle of coherence and logic. The semiotic act is based on the principle of relevance and is not practiced until after it retains the common characteristics, noting that each variable can be considered consecutively as a constant that allows a more accurate comparative exploration of the closest and according to the most diverse viewing angles.In light of these foundational perceptions of the theoretical and procedural approach, which operates the semiotic discourse according to its mechanisms and controls, our reading attempts to dialogue with the poetic group of Media Sheikha (An Echo-Evasive Door). She seeks to present her poetic vision in an oriental feminine spirit, which has become a dominant semantic space whose images are manifested and fragmented in most of the poetic texts. They have various forms and indications that give the group a reading aesthetic that leads the reader to in-depth excavations in the text to reach the essence of the poetic signs.
