[Poetry is based on personal responses: these are my own perceptions of Neruda's poem.]
In Neruda's poem "Lost in the forest," my understanding of the poem in its entirety comes from the resolution in the last stanza. In this verse, Neruda employs a great deal of imagery from nature.
Lost in the forest, I broke off a dark twig
and lifted its whisper to my thirsty lips:
maybe it was the voice of the rain crying,
a cracked bell, or a...

The last line of the poem "Ode to the Beautiful Nude" is an example of a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech used to implicitly compare two things that are unrelated as if they had something in common.
The moon lives in the lining of your skin
refers to the inner glow that seems to emanate from the portrait of this striking woman. This inner glow metaphorically transforms the shape of the woman making her profile contrast against her...

Similes are direct comparisons between two unrelated things that do share at least one similar trait. The words "like",and "as" join the direct comparison together such as in the words "cold as ice".

It is important to remember that all of Neruda's poems were written in Spanish, and therefore what we see are translations of those poems into English. Obviously, meter is impacted by translation, so clearly the answer I will give you is based on the translation of the poem, rather than the original.
Having given this caveat, if we look at the poem, it is clear that there is no regular meter. Consider the following stanza, for example:
With a...

This is a poem in praise of the female form and as the speaker in this poem gazes upon the nude who the poem is dedicated to, the tone of wonder, awe and amazement is clear as he contemplates what is to him such pure and unfettered beauty. The whole poem therefore is based around trying to describe this form and the beauty that it holds. In the fourth stanza, for example, the speaker questions of what substance the body of the nude consists to...
