Summary/Abstract: The research of the lyrical imaginary in female lyrical representations is due to the fact that they are not temporary presence in modern Romanian literature, but it represents a significant value, insufficiently used by the exegetes.The poetic universe of the writers Ileana Mălăncioiu, Ana Blandiana, Gabriela Melinescu is evidenced by the complex poetic language, by the various hypostases of the lyrical ego, the symbols, themes and motifs processed and adapted to the contexts of the ages and also by the anthropological approaches and the techniques dealt with in writings.By scanning the works of the creators, taking into account the level of meaning of the imaginary, the coherence of the lyrical discourse and the coherence and plurivalence of the symbols, we will observe images of the reflexivity theory, of the existential dramas, of the devastating poetic states, of the rituals, motives and symbols of the poetic imaginary of the water, which is seen in various forms of manifestation: rain, dew, tear, snow, sinking waters; symbolic seas, static and dynamic aquatic, regression in time - childhood, fire, flight, play, dream, diurnal regime and night regime.The analysis we are going to perform seeks to delimit and tune the significant water hypotheses found in the work of the writers we refer to herein after. Identifying the specificity of this primordial element, the way it determines the creation of particular worlds, the way in which it alternates, creates the definition of the studied poetic universe.ANA BLANDIANA is one of the exponential writers of contemporary lyricism. As a tribute to an existential ecstasy of her own, she interprets in an original and singular way, the whole cosmogonic mythology, using the primordial elements: water, air, fire and earth. In her works we can see the realistic and optimistic attitude of capitalizing these elements as a symbol of the energy of life, as a symbol of regression or perishability.Another poetic universe in which the presence of the aquatic element is remarked in various forms is that of the writer ILEANA MĂLĂNCIOIU. The poetry of Ilenei Mălăncioiu was imposed through a poetics of contrasts, of reconfiguration of the mito-symbolic area of the world according to the internal principles, all assumed as herself.A unique poetic universe is discovered in the work of the writer GABRIELA MELINES. The aquatic element is also evidenced in her creation, as being in relations of determination with other archetypes present in her work. There are not few sequences of expressionist and even trakian nature in the poetry of Gabriele Melinescu.
