Ode to Wine

In the poem "Ode to Wine" Pablo Neruda talks about how he adores wine as if it were a lady. Then he talks about the moments he spends with the woman he is with. And as they share wine with flowers on the table. He also compares his woman to a wine bottle with grapes on them.
This poem does not relate t
o my life because I'm to young to drink. Pablo Neruda writes mostly love poems so it isn't unusual to see love poems and his love life.

Minstrel Man


In the poem "Minstrel Man" he talks about how he appears to feel on his outside appearance but really his soul is dead but he doesn't want to show his emotions but he dances how he says in the poem "You do not hear My inner cry? Because my feet Are gay with dancing, You do not know I die?" It proves that he was the kind of person that doesn't express his feeling out loud but on writing but I can't really prove it because he died in 1967. This poem relates to the real world because most people write poems or songs and some people tell someone they know or a psychiatrist and some people even keep it to themselves and end up suicidal or becoming homicidal because they don't understand.
