| Zusammenfassung: | This research aims at reading the Saudi poet Mohamed Habibi’s interactive digital poem, ‘Vision of Hope’, through the digital semiotic-cultural approach, trying to depict the external and internal text relationships, identifying the type of rhetoric to which the smart movement of the image and the multifaceted diversity of voices have added, and recognizing the cultural dimension of depicting a human being as a thing. What adds to the importance of this research is pinpointing the role of the technical syntheses of figurative language in the poem, ‘Vision of Hope’ that served the poetic text to become animatic, and served the non-verbal texts to become poetic. The research concludes that though the poem is technically simple because of the absence of hypertext, it is significantly rich because of the existence of the technical synthesis that has contributed in giving each of its component the advantage of the other. In addition, although the poet follows his admiration of the beauty of the three musical compositions of Nusseir Shammah, some of them were not well employed. The poet’s creative experience of interactive digital poetry is promising and deserves to be supported and sustained.
