يهدف هذا المقال إلى بيان مدى اتصال امرئ يقيس باليمن من خلال شعره، هل كان لليمن حضور بارز في شعره؟ وما أبرز مظاهر ذلك الحضور. امرؤ القيس يمني كندي، هاجر أجداده إلى شمال الجزيرة، وأسسوا مملكتهم هناك، لكنه ظل مرتبطًا بأصوله؛ فزار اليمن أكثر من مرة، وحضر اليمن في شعره إنسانًا ومكانًا وأشياء. وكان اليمنيون يعرفونه ويحفظون شعره قبل الإسلام. يؤكد امرؤ القيس على يمنيته هذه في شعره، فقد تغنى بملوك حِمْيَر، وحِمْيَر ذاتها، وتغنى ببطون كهلان وقبائل اليمن وأعرابها، وذكر مرابع آبائه ومراتع صباه في حضرموت في سياق الشوق والحنين، وذكر وديانًا وحصونًا ومدنًا ومخاليفَ يمنيةً قديمةً. ويمتد هذا الحضور اليمني في شعره إلى الأشياء اليمنية، أو المنسوبة إلى اليمن، فيذكر عددًا منها.
