studied in this article. The images in the work of U. Hamdam, B. Genjemuratov, J. Izbaskanov were 
analyzed from the perspective of tradition and innovation. 
Keywords.
 poetics, Uzbek, Karakalpak, tradition, novelty, image, theme, idea, form, effect.
 
Style, form, content, idea, and plot play an important role in the literary development of each 
genre. In this sense, imagery is one of the important factors in the transformation of experience into 
poetic integrity in poetry. When talking about a poetic image, one or another type of literary form, 
genre-compositional integrity is also understood. The various meanings of the word play the main 
role in the emergence of reality. Imagery is the soul of the work, its soul. It is natural that the 
meaning of the poet is expressed even in a simple two-line poem. For example, figurativeness also 
requires the depth of the creative imagination and originality. It gives him a spirit. It provides a 
perfect representation of the universe and man. So, the most primary function of imagery is to 
effectively convey the idea and content of the poem. Now, the science and technology revolution, 
the extreme expansion of the boundaries of civilization, led to a radical change in the laws of 
poetics. Even the representatives of modern poetry, without moving away from the ancient 
traditions, began to express the mood, goals and aspirations of the people of the new era in an 
literary form. True history was restored as a result of creative research conducted in this regard. A 
modern expression of national identity has appeared. A great epic scale was infused into the word. 
Reactions were made to sudden changes in people's mood. Therefore, our poetry, which has 
undergone poetic renewal in a short period of time, fully proves that it is always in search. In fact, 
"Where a man ends, a poet begins," - writes the Spanish philosopher Ortega-i-Gasset[1,366].
In the science of literary studies, three features that constitute the vital foundations of poetry 
are listed. These are: 1. Content. 2. Image. 3. Character. 
"These concepts are so integrally and closely connected with each other that touching one of 
them is equivalent to touching the second, and touching the second is touching the third[2,366]. By 
the way, the lyrical content opens a wide way for the character to be expressed in bright colors, just 
as it is reflected in the image. In this sense, reflecting the world through the personality of the poet 
is considered appropriate if it is approached based on character traits. After all, the poet gives a new 
meaning to the word: imagery emerges from the sum of experience, imagination, thinking, and 
emotions. And this is the fruit of a momentary moment born from the awakening of imaginations 
and fantasies that shine in the personality of the poet.
Emotion may not play a primary role in poems created on the basis of new formal and 
stylistic research, but the general temperature of the poem is clearly felt in the thought, what content 
the poet gave to that thought. Thought is the main means of expression for new poetry. The noise of 
society is alien to the artist who is in the torment of loneliness and separation. He cannot react to the 
events around him because of his inner suffering. As a result, the human personality becomes a 
whole essence. He revolves around the views that are most important to him. The density of reality, 
emotion, and experience moves somewhat freely in new poetry. The poet's thought-provoking 
expressions play a greater role than warm, playful verses. Magnificence, overflowing with 
excitement and pleasure are not among the main factors for modern poetry. If he ensures the 
originality of the idea, he is considered to have fully achieved his goal:
