Notes About The Poem

Cynosure

Cynosure Umm..cynosure... what does that mean? Oh yes, I see...something supreme. Like dignitary, celeb, sight; a focal point, or nucleus. A stunner, prodigy, limelight, a treasure, magnate, omphalos. A hero, luminary, ace, centrality, big gun, big name. A famous person, worthy place, or major leaguer of some fame. A star, a personality; a spotlight, center of it all. Exemplar and epitome; an archetype, original. Top brass, top dog, a spectacle, a wonderment or quintessence. An act of God, a miracle; immortal, beauty, eminence. Umm...cynosure...now understood. To me, it means...superbly good. Sandra M.

Thank you, Meenakshi, for the nice visit and comment. I thought I'd try to describe the word instead of describing something it describes! Hugs, Sandra
