"Vowels" (French: "Voyelles") is a sonnet written by the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, one of the most influential figures in French literature and a pioneer of the Symbolist movement. Composed in 1871, when Rimbaud was just 16 years old, the poem is renowned for its innovative and enigmatic use of language, as well as its vivid and surreal imagery. "Vowels" stands out as a quintessential example of Rimbaud's experimental approach to poetry, which sought to transcend traditional forms and explore new realms of expression.

The poem assigns specific colors to each of the five vowels, creating a synesthetic experience that merges visual and auditory sensations. The opening line famously declares: "A black, E white, I red, U green, O blue: vowels." This bold and unconventional association of colors with vowels has sparked extensive analysis and interpretation, with scholars debating the symbolic meanings and underlying themes of the poem. Some interpretations suggest that Rimbaud was attempting to create a new language of poetry, one that could capture the complexities of human perception and emotion in a more direct and visceral way.

"Vowels" is also notable for its structure and form. The sonnet adheres to the traditional 14-line format, yet Rimbaud's use of free verse and irregular meter breaks away from classical conventions, reflecting his desire to innovate and challenge the boundaries of poetic expression. The imagery within the poem is rich and varied, ranging from natural elements to abstract concepts, further contributing to its layered and multifaceted nature.

Arthur Rimbaud's "Vowels" remains a seminal work in the canon of French literature, exemplifying the poet's genius and his enduring influence on subsequent generations of writers and artists. Its enigmatic beauty and profound originality continue to captivate readers and inspire ongoing scholarly inquiry.
