The research investigated the concept of water by grasping its clear connotations in the cover and texts of the Diwan of (Rain with Lemon Flavor), especially in the study text (Women), through the application of the methodology of the American semiotic scientist Charles Sanders Peirce in the procedures of the Simios path and stopping its kinetics by determining the representation, the object, and the interpreter. The research was applied in a careful articulation of the tripartite boundaries of the three categories and concluded with essential results that centered on updating the interpretive water path that revealed the entities of conflict and fierce wars about water and potential life opportunities, as well as the self’s attempt to understand itself and its gender, besides the appearance of poetic resistances and forms of exclamation and denunciation. The icon has proved its continuous vitality between the cover and the text, and the interpreter ended up stopping the kinetics of interpretation with several interpretations.
