Pablo Neruda

“Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair” Words that brought eroticism to bear Penned by a man from the town of Parral A poet for whom there’s no parallel. Poetry won him acclaim, Politics tarnished his name; Pablo Neruda on the Noble Prize Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto in his parents’ eyes. Upon his death, people forbidden to mourn Due to his political views Thousands of Chileans honored this man Beyond established curfews. As a man myself who fancies the verse Writing poetry my ultimate curse I envy the works of Pablo Neruda My only wish? That I knew ya. Entry in the Pablo Neruda contest
