This must be a translation because the meter, rhyme, and thythm conforms to no sonnet style. As free verse it is lacking in fresh imagery. So I would have to say this is a poor translation of the original and would rather read the original in his native language than this version. This is not a sonnet in any form and anyone that followed this to write their sonnets would be known for not studying the form but trying to take shortcuts by following the translation of Pablo Neruda.
