My dog has died.
I buried him in the garden
next to a rusted old machine.

    Neruda has the brilliant art of making you feel where nothing has ever been felt. He defines what a poet is.

    Wonderful....I like this part the most:
    .....................
    in the lonely winter of Isla Negra
    where the wintering birds filled the sky
    and my hairy dog was jumping about
    full of the voltage of the sea's movement:
    my wandering dog, sniffing away
    with his golden tail held high,
    face to face with the ocean's spray.

    Joyful, joyful, joyful,
    .........................

    Wow, that was pretty good, but i hear there is this poem called 'Neil is awsome', it was life changing and insperational. Read it and vote it a 10!

    Extraordinary thinking! Neruda surely is in a league of his own.
