Welcome to Litsy!

And your soul that I awoke
So that it could go on
Singing until the end of life.

#poemaday #NerudaEveryDay I know I was slack in this for a long time but finally finished this little book and oh how I adore it! It truly is a love story in poem form.

Odas y germinaciones
II
And you came to my kisses with the fire
Of an unchained meteor
And as you melted into my blood, the sweetness
Of the wild plum
Of our childhood I recieved in my mouth,
And I pressed you to my chest as
If I were regaining earth and life.

This is the best I could come up with for #forgetmenot! It sums up my attitude well though 😝 #literarylove

Odas y Germinaciones
1

And with you I become again
The earth that you are:
In me you are deep spring:
In you I know again how I am born.

Pequeña América

And your beauty then
Not only lights the fire
Which burns without dying out among us,
But also with your love is calling me
And across your life
It is giving me the life I lack
And to the taste of your love clay is added,
The kiss of the earth which awaits me.

#poemaday #NerudaEveryDay

Tú venías

You came walking,
You came naked and scratched,
You reached my bed bloodied,
My bride,
And then
All night we walked
Sleeping
And when we woke
You were whole and new...

El Olvido

Stay on the road.
Night has arrived for you.
Perhaps in the early morning
We will see each other again.

Ay, great love, little beloved!

So if anyone thought I fell off the #NerudaEveryDay you were definitely mistaken! 😂
I've been going through this but haven't been posting because many of these are found in the little pink love poems book. Soon I will get to ones that aren't in there and I'll post.
I love the story behind these poems, because until I read the intro to this book I didn't know he published this book anonymously. So interesting!

Oh my! Imagine my delight when the postman delivered this to me today!😍 A lovely surprise from @Cathythoughts ! A beautiful book of poetry, pencils, a lovely journal, and (the pic doesn‘t do it justice) the most beautiful, soft scarf! THANK YOU SO MUCH!❤️❤️❤️! What a very kind gift, Cathy! I‘m overwhelmed with gratitude! Litsy is truly the best community ever!👏👏👏

Feb. 5 - El viento en la isla - "El viento es un caballo: / óyelo como corre / por el mar, por el cielo." I love the evocative language that opens this poem. #LitsyPoetry365

Neruda was the first poet I fell in love with, back in high school. My English teacher brought in books for a poetry day and we read out loud to each other, and when I read some of Neruda's sonnets, every single girl in the class let out a long sigh. After the laughter stopped, my teacher said "boys, that's why you should all respect poetry." #augustphotochallenge #poetry

Two of my favorite poets for today's August of Pages challenge. #augustphotochallenge
