The symbol - is one of the main conditions for the perception of the poet  world view associated with the singularity of artistic analysis. Without a sense  a lyric poem does not arise. Sincere poetry is the result of thoughts and feelings. Sometimes a character comes to the aid of the poet to convey the subtleties of feeling, becomes a way to transfer the soul of the poet. The symbol is mainly peculiar to poets thinking metaphorically. The internal state of the poet (or lyrical) can convey a word or action. Thus, the internal state of the human soul is transmitted through the characters. As a particle of a huge fictional world, the symbol is found in the literature of all peoples. For example, the swan symbolizes the sincere love, honesty and beauty: a raven-insincerity, bread-salt- hospitality,  friendship, generosity: the eagle, a symbol of strength, agility, courage, cranberry-symbol of a beautiful girl, the lotus-sky, the lion-courage, a flower-tenderness and devotion. The role of the characters is the transmission of thought implicitly, the idea needed to bring  to transfer by comparison with other objects, events, allusions.

In comparison with the exact way, the character value is much wider. By imaging the symbol means deeper meaning, destiny, life's mysteries. Lyric poem uncovers feelings of the poet, describes the life in its own way. Esenin often said that true poetry was not only a representation of life, it also means  life in poetry. In 1918, addressing Block, he says: "Poetry  like a  nature must be sincere," "The word is not the subject  well-known in nature. Or it is not a tree, which grows, it is a different, very special nature. "

         When the Soviet Union at the request of socialist realism, fiction served as a political ideology. The psychology of talent has been suspended, the literature has lost the quality of  studying  human factors. At a time when literature has become a policy there was  a need to meet the requirements of political ideology. In the years so as to bring the thoughts indirectly, by the help of  hints, the role of symbols  acquired a special significance.

Changes, upheavals in the early 20th century poets were able to show with characters such as, rain, waves and wind. Allegorical character images were widely adopted in the poems "Red Horse", "Sovetstan", "Kokshetau." But the coup that began in the 30s tied hand and foot and forced to remain silent creative writers. Such images as "clouds, wind, hurricane, the sea," seemed to be signs of  bad intentions. Symbols  were used skillfully in Kazakh prose by such famous writers as M. Auez, G.Musrepov. At the time the characters change and develop. If in many works by S.Seifullin symbol described in the form of a dashing knight, wind, boats, birds and fast train, then in poetry presented in the form of swans, mystery chest, a white camel. Each takes on different moods of the poet, his feelings and thoughts, events and featured character names. This is due to the fact that the symbol has two sides of perception: the first part - the imagery aimed at a sense, the images presented to the reader, the second part  is the main idea of ​​the author associated with the inner spiritual world.

The knowledge of the inner world of man leads to the knowledge of more valuable property.

                              A flower withers in the field

                              Ferocious wind. Dark night scared

         Clouds rushing across the sky   [1, 274].

This line of poetry  by  Fariza  emerged from the deep inner feelings. The internal state of the poet is conveyed  in his way. Withered flower of the field-scarred symbol of the soul of the poet, a strong wind, something that stirs the soul, dark night - a symbol of grief. Stormy clouds in the sky convey restless state of  poets’mind. This state is continued further into the verse.

                                The Sun appeared from the field

          (The Earth shines getting rid of cold sadness   [1, 274].  

The sun in this poem - the poet's optimistic thoughts, dreams and desires.

Ridding the earth of cold sadness, giving bloom,  author finds solace in poetry., gives the soul peace. It is important to pay attention to the symbolism of colors in the works of poets. With the help of lyric poetry can be found rare color. These colors play an important role - an explanation of the aesthetic spirit of  lyrical works. Currently poets can speak with different colors masterfully. Especially in the poetics F. Ongarsynova color symbolism shows the inner soul. In the poetry of color there are many examples that illustrate the variety of  vocabulary. The white rays, vague dreams, black abyss, the blue peaks show the inner world and the state of the poet. We've noticed that  such  words as a child's soul, a vague sadness, a sense of sweet, milk rays are often met.

Stormy  feeling  worries

Nothing surprises me in this world

I feel crazy

tender field loses its beauty

rage, anger  all in me

sadness in my soul

the two of us tied the fate [2, 47].

These separate lines of the verse and the following lines show the inner longing of the poet, thoughts and feelings. The poet writes lines as in thrill, giving free rein to the senses. As if revealing the soul to all readers.

Pay attention to the symbols of color-ranks  in the poem by  H. Salykbaeva.  In one only poetries "soul" there are such characters as white sorrow, anguish white, white universe, whiter than the moon eyebrows, white valley of dreams, darkblue  night, black snow, reddish-yellow surface of the black water,a  gray box,  a gray city, a gray area , yellowish white world, yellow city, heart of a yellowish, yellow  garden, red sun, moon,  bluish Valley, yellow lover, the bluish sun, a red man, a  man, green state, the green voice. Developing the poetic tradition paved before, Salykbaeva skillfully uses epithets related to color. Among these applications is the color of abstract phenomena. All this reveals the internal state of the poet.

                                               I saw you

                                             but all in vain

                                             Seeing you  my eyes will  sink in tears

                                             I had a white sorrow

                                             Nights in white

                         the white enveloping sadness elevated happiness [2, 47].

Such images in these lines as  white sorrow, white night, white sadness arose as a result of the submission and retrieval of  the poet of an unknown  world.

Talking, drawing color in the colors of life, the poet gives each color value.

Dazzled  by the "red sun" the poet transformed into her favourite image  in her poetry.  Let’s read poetry by F. Ongarsynova on one of the season, autumn.

Capricious river can not calm down

The mountains are having covered by clouds

White birches weep accidentally scattered the leaves

The young sky is angry

hides its summer beauty

grayish field in the offense as a child

The gardens are full of fruit once

is now empty

wind is whistling through the windows of houses

the blue sky has lost its color

gray clouds float at random

         children with naïve soul run the ball [1, 197].

To compare  fall with sadness, to make the clouds weep, bare trees, all these are familiar to us. Sometimes the image of the fall shows   sad feelings. But in this  poem seems to have peculiarity-beauty.  Nature for Fariza - carefree childhood. Birch trees are crying because the leaves are scattered at random, grayish blown further hurt as a child. Accordingly, the recovery time events, with a description of their freshness, human character, appearance, movement shows strength, and resourcefulness of the poet. This image of the fall - symbol of  poet’s poetry . The poet helps the reader to feel deeply his poetry, to search for the meaning of many words.

delicate flowers tremble like the feeling of love

of gay men shouting plain can not sleep [1, 198].                                                

Delicate flowers and wide steppe turns into the image of a man. This is the traditional need for novelty and originality of the poet. His style of description. "The symbol is a description of the object or phenomena indirectly. Description of similar phenomena, the description indirectly. Thoughts are also transmitted indirectly, as explained by the pleasant events.

«The most important character in the art of words gives a beautiful reality described by the imagination, the humble philosophical connotations attached to the product image of mysterious» [3, 219], - - says academician Z. Kabdolov.

Every poet, on the basis of his poetic distinction, ability to think imaginatively, creating a variety of descriptive images. Symbolic images are found in all the poets. Recognition of poetic beauty of speech is a sensitive sense of the reader.
