Bead Earrings
with a naughty wink
he completes
my joy
a mom’s pride
soars on his gift
of bright beads earrings

Whispers of Dawn is a wonderful collection of these short story poems by Celestine Nudanu.The book is broken down into 6 themes; Whispers, Making Love, The Dark Side of Love, Death, Saving Grace and Random Thoughts. There are 85 poems in this collection. All poems in the book are centralized with one poem per page.
Celestine is not afraid to tell it as it is…her stories are real, heartfelt and soul-searching.
In the Whispers section, the beautiful;
the way
the petals open
to reveal sunlight
this morning
your smile opened the door
to a new beginning
In the Making Love section;
see me
fall to pieces
as you strum
on the breeze
andante
andante
and in the Dark Side of Love section;
the day you left
you left
with the sunshine
how time flies
this sunshine
in my baby’s smile
The next section is Death;
dark clouds
billowing curtains
close his days
I watch, helpless
as his breath fades
with my memories
In the Saving Grace section;
in my distress
I seek your face
beyond the blue vastness
a whisper, just a breeze
will do
for this soul on fire
and finally in Random Thoughts this very apt poem;
today
you and I will sing
with the wings
for with the storm brewing
a tomorrow
is not certain
Whispers of Dawn is a collection you will want to read and reread…I know I will be!

Cherita, Ghana, Gillena Cox, Publication, review, Whispers of Dawn
Here is a wonderful review of my book Whispers of Dawn from my blogging friend in Trinidad & Tobago, Gillena Cox.
Yes she has done it again! Celestine Nudanu has dipped into her conscious yin and yang pulling out some trinkets for us; some sparkly as fine-cut diamonds, some dark as somber onyx. She has spilled across pages more than 50 poems called cherita. Telling her personal stories and sharing her cultural essence.
Choosing this concise genre to detail issues such as love, longing, despair, gratitude, death and self-realization, is no easy task, yet this is the holy grail that this poet embarks on, and succeeds in her attainment, as ‘Whispers of Dawn’
The cherita is a 6 line poem which tells a story, in fact it is a Malay word meaning story and is a form created by Ai Li.
Ai Li, in her foreword of this collection remarks, “The cherita genre could almost have been created just for Celestine, for her to gift to us her stories”
Best wishes with your outreach pursuits for a fine collection of poems, dear Celestine. Certainly, this is not a book you can read only once.
THANKS FOR AGREEING TO BOOK SWAP Celestine [ i have sent her a copy of my ‘Pink Crush’.
much love
gillena

Breeze – A Cherita
to name me breeze
fragrance of weightlessness
buoyant
the cares of this world
beyond me
I am breeze without winds
