Abstract

The flower, recognized as a very important concept worldwide from the earliest ages, is considered a symbol that expresses emotions and thoughts within the shared understanding of humanity. The flower is also found in literature and, therefore, in poetry as a literary genre, showing its effect in many aspects of life. The shaping of the Turkish poetry map has become much more intense, especially during the Republican Period. The existence of movements that set out with different understandings proves this. The Second New movement which took shape in the mid-1950s is one of them. Cemal Süreya was a prominent poet in the Second New movement in Turkish poetry. Like many other poets, Süreya expresses sentiments about life, women, ideas and political identity by blending flowers with humor and his intellectual and versatile personality. The rose is one of the flowers the poet uses in this context. This article presents a different perspective on the poet's work by examining the specific poems and verses in which the rose is utilized, detailing the frequency and the manner of its application, and analyzing these.
