A poet named William P. Jackson-Burnett posted this "Icicles" poem recently on another board. I found it so fantastic, it almost mirrors my "Icicles" poem from last year. He was kind enough to allow me to post both together! This one's for you, LgnJgn! ICICLES by William P. Jackson-Burnett Briefest moments of a now conversation Melting the glacial ice of memories Held fast in the frozen sweetness Of time everlasting. The words Syncopated echoes ringing in Irregular harmony a tune Caught in the windsong Staccato of the mind. Silently we make Beautiful music Together. Silently We make Beautiful Music To- Get- Her. Icicles It gave you pleasure melting my resistance, shining in the sparkle you found in my eyes a twinkling treasure Partially hidden from view, wrapped in glossy paper you tore away layers, ribbons untied Held this gift in your gaze, touched outer layers, slipped in skillfully, heat replaced cold, closed my eyes to milky ways I have often wished upon you like some far off star in the wintry sky, and thought, Darlin’, if you only knew © 1999 Corinne Bailey |

Thanks, Denise! I thought it was quite a coincidence! He's a marvelous, complex poet! Corinne |

Corinne~ I love multi-paneled mirrors. You had to be caught surprised at the reflection. Awesome resemblance. I have often wished upon you like some far off star in the wintry sky, and thought, Darlin’, if you only knew' Oh, how I like this panel !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Syncopated echoes ringing in Irregular harmony a tune ============= yes...indeed...syncopated... both are awesome writings and it is a "COOL" coincidence (pun intended) LOL and perhaps Im a bit biased... but i like the second one the most   jm |

Very "COOL" indeed....yes I believe the reflection of one captures the other quite well. Loved them both and you may pass that on to William P. Jackson-Burnett. Great writings the both of them. |

Thanks, Marge! This was like through the looking glass, looking at him, looking at me! I was surprised, pleasantly so! Thanks for the so kind words, JM! I think he's a better poet, though, he digs deeper than I. Thank you Mark, I shall tell him! Corinne |

Sometimes the universe creates wonderful duets, and sometimes the universe allows us to see them together. This is one of those times.... Tell you poet friend from me also great work. and tell that other amazing poet for me too.. Parker |

these two are so special - I thoroughly enjoyed - thank you Not too long ago - I wrote an "Icicles" - more in my 'sensuous' vein - but if you're curious: http://www.bianca.com/shack/bookcase/poetry/posts/1999_Dec_28/20476/20476.html ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

Good morning Corinne, I must say that this is just lovely. Two poems written apart, but so much together. Well done, Corinne. Bill |
