Ode to My Suit

Simple Soul

Neruda wrote an entire book of odes to things like suits, wine, and even artichokes. Within these odes, written in non-complicated, straightforward language, he attempts to dig deeper into the ordinary. He also wrote plenty of poems on the topic of love, all using a similar style. What his poems all have in common is their use of common language and common things to ponder the bigger questions—deep, man.
