Summary/Abstract: Metaphorization in poems is a specific phenomenon. Poetry, having different function from that of everyday language, uses metaphorization through encoding and decoding a message. Unusual metaphors make communication between an author and a reader more difficult, but also more attractive. By dint of metaphor an idea concentrates greatly and a reception of a message, apart from the message itself, provides aesthetical values. Relations between time and space in a poem, where presented world is minimized, are always metaphorized. In order to define them, cognitive poetry uses the term of mental spaces. The author of this work is going to characterize these spaces in poems of two poets – in the Inna Lisnianskaya’s Иерусалимскаятетрадь and Wisława Szymborska’s Tutaj.
