Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,
their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in
June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing
the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann
liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and
Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,
the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog
site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK
(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the
computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share
yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

Yellow bathrobes, image is everything - Anita Holzberg

Chickens flood a barnyard
daybreak ---black
the songs of my heart
play out
Picchu too, scurries
in and out my house

I look at the lines
on this computer
my fingers do the walking

Small talk
over a big sky
petunias velvet
purple
grow back
take over the window box

All we have
is what we see
in images
big yellow bathrobes
fluffy slippers caresses
my feet
I have not traveled much,
but I have.
