In this case, the final sentences of the poem (in English) are: Come and see the blood in the streets.Come and seeThe blood in the streets.Come and see the bloodIn...

Explain Pablo Neruda's poem "Ode to Tomatoes".

An ode is a classical form that traditionally deals with a grand or important topic. Pablo Neruda's poem "Ode to Tomatoes", like the paradoxical encomium, applies this genre to a homely subject, a common food and cooking ingredient that is an essential element of the cuisine of his native Chile.
