Abstract: The purpose of this study was to make a presentation of how is described serpent's symbol in Peter Stoica's poetry. Diachronic method, followed by the symbolic approach has been used in this scientific work. Through an analytical approach I have commented on the lyrical vision, a doctrine which expresses his ideation. We have noticed that for the poet the theme of death is quite mysterious and how this is reflected in Peter Stoica' s poetry is quite clear. Death came into the world through the serpent. The one who tempted Eve to taste the forbidden fruit is this snake. Snake's powers such as the changes of the skin, its body composition by a segmental form, its capacity of dragging and not least its venom make it a symbol of universal evil. Nor should be omitted snake's association with a labyrinth of life, a labyrinth from Petre Stoica's poetry .
