Andrea Dietrich Poet Quatern

Cynosure

A cynosure is he for me -
Night’s diamond beaming brilliantly;
The star I search for in the sky.
When seeing it, I have to sigh!

My emerald and red ruby -
A cynosure is he for me.
A pearl washed up from ocean’s floor
Now shining on a moonlit shore.

A sapphire’s sparkle in the sun;
Most beautiful and precious one!
A cynosure is he for me
Though to him - I’m nothing, sadly.

I long to gleam within his sight.
If I but had his dazzling light,
A cynosure for him I’d be!
A cynosure is he for me.

Joanna Daniel June 29, 2016 at 3:26 AM Nice sparkling cynosure is he:) I like this one:)

Eve Roper June 28, 2016 at 9:35 PM Andrea, wonderful poem, good luck in the contest. :) the other poem you read was, "Ain't An Ornery Yahoo - Colloquialisms form " with repeated verse almost the same but changed a few words. She has disowned the boys and sent their baby pictures she had of them back to them beautiful antique framed. That is ok I inherited a photo I always wanted of my hubby.

John Lawless June 28, 2016 at 10:43 AM ah, the old "unrequited love" saga. perhaps he is a cynosure in his own mind and therefore does not see the cynosure that is you..

Matthew Anish June 28, 2016 at 10:41 AM Nice poem - I had to look up the definition of cynosure to understand it! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
