Pablo Neruda

I am taking another English class and today we read some poems written by Pablo Neruda. I fell in love with his work. His poems are easy to understand and actually pretty funny. He wrote an " ode to my socks" all about a pair of socks. I really recommend if anyone is looking to read some poems for fun, his are defiantly interesting. My favorite is called " Tonight I Can Write". This poem is about a guy who does not have his girlfriend anymore. He is basically saying " I lost her and that's all". He worries about her being with another man. He says this is the last poem he is going to write about her. I found it funny that he kept going back and forth saying he loves her, but does not love her. I really liked it.

    I love poets who enjoy the simple things in life, especially when they shine a light on something out of the ordinary. He sounds like an "adult Dr. Seuss" if you will. Are you going to do Neruda for you poet project?
