First poem that Ever moved me was " Prayer Before Birth" By louis Macneice !
I was very young maybe 8 or 9 and our teacher read it out in class , I remember there was nothing else in the world only those words coming out of his mouth and the end Bit "let them not make me a stone and let them not spill me. Otherwise kill me."
I never forgot ! so moving for a little kid that understood little about the world and war

It's a romantic poem about love lost. Neruda seems like the epitome of a romantic which is why it was surprising he looks like a curmudgeonly, staid man haha. I kinda expected him to be sexayyyy

“Welcome Morning"
There is joy
in all:
in the hair I brush each morning,
in the Cannon towel, newly washed,
that I rub my body with each morning,
in the chapel of eggs I cook
each morning,
in the outcry from the kettle
that heats my coffee
each morning,
in the spoon and the chair
that cry "hello there, Anne"
each morning,
in the godhead of the table
that I set my silver, plate, cup upon
each morning.
All this is God,
right here in my pea-green house
each morning
and I mean,
though often forget,
to give thanks,
to faint down by the kitchen table
in a prayer of rejoicing
as the holy birds at the kitchen window
peck into their marriage of seeds.
So while I think of it,
let me paint a thank-you on my palm
for this God, this laughter of the morning,
lest it go unspoken.
The Joy that isn't shared, I've heard,
dies young.”
― Anne Sexton
