Unforgettable ToniA Poem by Titilayo Sarah EguriduTribute
Dear Toni,
You made me understand that not having blue eyes doesn’t make me ordinary The narrative in Sula helped me put my life’s choices in perspective. I learnt the meaning of paradox through Macon Dead Jr. Oh, and Tar Baby was a welcome fusion of the haves and have nots. Beloved broke the silence in the room.Your rich eccentric use of words made Beloved beloved. The twist in Jazz, left me breathless and in awe of your writing prowess-a tragic story with a fun name. Paradise helped me understand antithesis You Toni were a tapestry of wonders. Love is a proof that writers are gods. Mercy, was hope painted in words and opened the door to Frank Money-what a story! In God help the child, you share profound truths with the younger generation. Bowed out of the stage with the Source of self regard. You packed up tried and true wisdom, wrapped them in words and colors, gift wrapped them into books Now your love is in millions of hands as your parting gift to the world. I will miss anticipating your next book-but you only just started this journey and will continue telling your stories in eternity. You are unforgettable Toni, You took a piece of my heart with you. Adieu...till we meet in God’s bossom.
