This research examines the external rhythm in the collected poems of the Omani poet Bashir bin Amer Al-Fazari. It attempts to identify the poetic meters he employed, linking each meter to the poetic themes he addressed. Furthermore, it compares the meters used by Al-Fazari with those used by earlier poets to determine whether he adhered to the conventions of his predecessors. The researcher employed both statistical and descriptive methodologies.
