Pablo Neruda's Questions:
Pablo Neruda asks some wild and fun and tragic questions in his tiny gem titled, The Book of Questions. Questions like, Tell me, is the rose naked or is that her only dress? Why do trees conceal the splendor of their roots? Does smoke talk with the clouds? Do tears not yet spilled wait in small lakes? At what does the watermelon laugh when it’s murdered? Isn’t it better never than late? Pip’s Creative Writing and English 10 classes examined these treats and asked Neruda some of their own. What follows are a few Whitman inquiries. Enjoy.
