 * Love Song

I love you, I love you, is my song and here my silliness begins.

I love you I love you my lung, I love you, I love you my wild grapevine, and if love is like wine: you are my predlilection from your hands to your feet: you are the wineglass of hereafter and my bottle of destiny.

I love you forwards and backwards, and I don't have the tone or timbre to sing you my song, my endless song.

On my violin that sings out of tune my violin declares, I love you, I love you my double bass, my sweet woman, dark and clear, my heart, my teeth, my light and my spoon, my salt of the dim week, my clear windowpane moon. || ​Clenched Soul

We have lost even this twilight. No one saw us this evening hand in hand while the blue night dropped on the world.

I have seen from my window the fiesta of sunset in the distant mountain tops.

Sometimes a piece of sun burned like a coin in my hand.

I remembered you with my soul clenched in that sadness of mine that you know.

Where were you then? Who else was there? Saying what? Why will the whole of love come on me suddenly when I am sad and feel you are far away?

The book fell that always closed at twilight and my blue sweater rolled like a hurt dog at my feet.

Always, always you recede through the evenings toward the twilight erasing statues. || Magellanic Penguin

​ Neither clown nor child nor black nor white but verticle and a questioning innocence dressed in night and snow: The mother smiles at the sailor, the fisherman at the astronaunt, but the child child does not smile when he looks at the bird child, and from the disorderly ocean the immaculate passenger emerges in snowy mourning.

I was without doubt the child bird there in the cold archipelagoes when it looked at me with its eyes, with its ancient ocean eyes: it had neither arms nor wings but hard little oars on its sides: it was as old as the salt; the age of moving water, and it looked at me from its age: since then I know I do not exist; I am a worm in the sand.

the reasons for my respect remained in the sand: the religious bird did not need to fly, did not need to sing, and through its form was visible its wild soul bled salt: as if a vein from the bitter sea had been broken.

Penguin, static traveler, deliberate priest of the cold, I salute your vertical salt and envy your plumed pride. ||

I enjoyed this poem. It compares love to all the simple things in life. It shows how simple love can be. Pablo Neruda said that his love was all the things in life that he loved.
 * Ananlysis:

The literary device used in this poem is sybolism. All the things he said in this poem symbolized his love.

This poem does not have a rhyme scheme. It is a freeverse poem.

The theme of this poem is the love Neruda has for the girl in his life. || ​Analysis:

​This poem describes a person missing a loved one. Neruda is feeling all alone in where he's at. The line "No one saw us this evening hand in hand" is descirbing that the person is hallucinating. The person is so heart broke, he is lost and has no where to go.

This poem uses symbolism. He uses symbols to express his emotions. The blue night and the blue sweater he uses in his poem show that hewas sad. He also uses similes. He uses personification in saying the fiesta of sunlight. The sunlight is not really having a fiesta.

​This poem has no rhyme scheme.

​The theme of this poem is the love expressed by someone who is missing a loved one. || Analysis:

​This poem is about people that don't fit in with the crowd. When I read it, it reminded me of Lanier Middle School with all the different clicks. All they do is stare and talk about all the other people that aren't apart of thier group or the people that they haven't seen before. They may know thier name, but they don't know anything about the people that they stare at.

​This poem uses symobolism. The child in this poem represents the human race.

This poem has no rhyme scheme.

​The theme of this poem is don't judge a book by its cover. ||
