The article contributes to the study of broader issues related to the holistic and comprehensive analysis of V.A. Sosnora's use of folklore images and motifs in poetic texts, starting with the first published collections. The object of research in this work are the collections "Continuation", "From Lesya Ukrainka", "Signs", "Thirty-seven", "Virgo-fish", "Lost Farm" and "Supreme Hour", published in the last lifetime edition of "Poems", which saw the light in 2018 in the author's edition. There are sixteen texts in which the presence of folklore motifs and images is recognized. The semantic disparity of referring to the designated contexts is noted, in connection with which it also highlights a group of texts in which folklore allusions and reminiscences play an auxiliary role, as well as a group of texts in which the appeal to folklore is conceptual, is highlighted. Thirteen of the sixteen texts can be attributed to the first group, while three poems are attributed to the second group: "Hamlet and Ophelia", "The Seven", "How could you wait to see if your word would come true?". In the latter case, V.A. Sosnora refers to an autocitation from the early collection "Horsemen". In each case, the sources of folklore motifs and images, their artistic function in the poem, and their place in the context of V.A. Sosnora's entire poetic work are clarified. The conclusion is made about a fairly distinct tendency to decrease the frequency and semantic significance of references to folklore material in V.A. Sosnora's poetic work in the 1970s compared with the author's early collections of poems.
