Sunset on the Other Site an Odey to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a beautiful inspirational poem dedicated to the author of Half of a Yellow Sun.
The young woman with the brain and wisdom of an elder; Chimamanda has no equal in her area of writing.
She has blessed our world with a collection of writing that would always inspire us to think.
Here we are celebrating her in our own little way. She is indeed a sunset on the other site. Nature Poem: Selfless, Dedicated to Mother Teresa
Sunset On The Other Side
[Odey To Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie]
Sunset on her smile
For in the making of African attire
She educates the world about her roots.
Child that breathe in the hilly side of Nsukka
Land were our great intellectuals dreamt
How she has sip from the cup of our literary warriors.
Odey to her, hand painted in “Purple Hibiscus”,
Sunset to her, curator in “Half of a Yellow Sun”,
The world has not heard you yet.
Smile with a pen at hand
For at the right side of literary conscience
Your worth would always announce your dreams.
Ode to our own
Our very own
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
