Abstract
The idea of the research is based on the study of physiognomy in Arabic poetry in general and Abbasid poetry in particular. It is concerned with identifying the intended implications and meanings of inferring the explicit things from the implicit ones, i.e. knowing the inner morality from the apparent morality. After investigation and scrutiny, several poetic physiognomies have been identified, from which those which correspond to the objective of the research in terms of brevity and drawing attention of what is useful as poetic evidence have been selected. Physiognomy was difined and its concept and importance in realizing the purposes and subtleties of poetry were explained. The research was divided into three sections. The first: stating the term physiognomy. The second: Physiognomy of the body and organs. The third: other types of physiognomy. The findings show that poetic physiognomy came in a variety of ways and means. Moreover, the Arab poet mastered the use of these diversities, and that physiognomy was a criterion for excellence and distinction.
