Abstract

The article examines flora images as part of the artistic system of motifs and a characteristic of the motif complexes of U. Dubouka’s poetry and clarifies the metaphorical potential of plant images from linguistic cliches and rhetorical figures to discrete, complex symbolic allegories filled with original semantics and associative-authorial innovations. Conclusions are drawn on the basis of the peculiar functioning and diversity of national folklore-romanticized flora images in the poems 'The train was in a hurry', 'Thoughts, thoughts, how can I reassure you', 'Chords, chords!', 'A little of autumn and a handful of maple leaves', 'On a winter snow-covered day...' by U. Dubouka, the ideological and thematic dominants of the poet’s creativity are determined.
