Poetry is one of the aesthetic and cognitive activities of the human mind in terms of both production and acquisition process. The understanding of poetry as a cognitive activity, naturally, also involves some processes involving the cognitive of man. The developments in the world of science in recent years have revealed some new fields of study in which cognitive sciences and human sciences meet. The cognitive linguistics, which is one of these fields, studies the cognitive processes in literary texts, which are one of the specific uses of the language. Recent research in the field of cognitive linguistics has shown that the metafor, one of the most common uses of the poetic language, is not only a word art with a linguistic dimension, but also a process with a cognitive dimension. In this study, the cognitive processes in Attila Ilhan's poem titled Sisler Boulevard will be studied by movement from the approaches of cognitive linguistics.
