Free Essays on Pablo Neruda Saddest Poem

Eyad R. Saqr ESOL 102 Response Saddest Poem Tow weeks ago one of my classmates has presented a poem from his culture, and I am sure that it’s a Latin culture. The poem is called â€Å"Saddest Poem† written by Pablo Neruda who is as I understood one of the most famous Latinos poet. This poem was translated to English, even though it didn’t lose its original structure.
