Abstract: Poetry is a form of literary work that conveys the poet's heart, thoughts, and feelings through the author's use of language, creativity, and imagination, employing a series of beautiful language that contains rhythm and meaning. The analysis of Iman Sembada's poetry, particularly its portrayal of coastal communities, is the primary goal of this study. The intimate bond between people and the environment is highlighted in Sembada's poetry, particularly in the lives of coastal populations who are constantly impacted by the forces of the sea. Sembada illustrates the resilience, interdependence, and complex relationships that exist between coastal towns and their surroundings by using natural symbols like wind, waves, and weathering conditions. This analysis demonstrates how Sembada addresses the spiritual and cultural aspects that influence coastal people's identities in addition to depicting their daily lives in his poetry. According to the study's findings, Iman Sembada used natural images in his poetry to depict the realities, difficulties, and cultural diversity of coastal towns.
