"In its caves the salt moans, mountain of buried light, translucent cathedral, crystal of the sea, oblivion of the waves." - from Ode to Salt by Pablo Neruda
He certainly was very passionate about salt. ?

#MarchMagic #BookofPoetry Another book from my moms stash . Generally, she is not a fan of poetry, maybe she will remember where/why she got it.
so-soNeruda is amazing and I like the idea of noticing the beauty and worth in common things but it was a little slow and dull honestly. Not my favorite of his for sure.

My poetry selection for #readharder2017
This great collection was enhanced with lovely pencil sketches. I was somewhat amazed to find out how relaxing reading this was, a vacation from books, heavy with "issues". The simplicity of a poem about a pair of socks or a Gillyflower is like a balm. A reminder that beauty can be found everywhere and in the simplest of things, if you truly take the time to notice.
I love this appreciation of the small things "Ode to a bar of Soap"

Starting the #readathon off easy by reading this wonderful book of poetry in translation for hour 1!
"Beauty is beauty/ twice over/ and good things are doubly/ good/ when you're talking about a pair of wool/ socks/ in the dead of winter."

Neruda is one of those poets I've heard of but never read. I picked up Elemental Odes in a library haul and honestly? - not what I was expecting! Might need to come back to these. #litsypoetry365
