Summary/Abstract: Depending on the poetic description of poetry, the particulars it refers to, or in what way we as a reader experience an imaginary, potential element of this image, they can be: visual, acoustic, tactile, tasteful and olfactive images . Successful poetic images are generated by a description that is realized by a special selection of “decorative adjectives” or epithets. Expressionistic sounds, colors and images are present in this poetry. Most often these are descriptions of Herzegovinian landscapes pervaded by the poet’s inner experience or the most personal intimate feelings, etc. The aim of the paper is to explain the linguistic role of “decorative adjectives”, that is, epithets on the basis of which the poet builds poetic images, as well as their expressive but impressive meaning poetry. This paper will give general information on Expressionism and Hamzi Humi as one of the most significant representatives of expressionist lyrical literature in BH literature. After the basic information about the author and the literary line, theoretical definitions of the epithets will be discussed with regard to the subject analysis. The corpus on which the analysis was made relates to a large number of selected Huma songs from different cycles – Old Motives, Herzegovina Landscapes, City of rhyme and rhythms, Sounds in the heart, Inner life.
