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".

Anita Holzberg

In the waxing and waning
the pain persists
like a needle going through hands
lips remain
without pain
I color my lips
I wear my new leopard sweater
I dance around the room
Il Vivo
I live
in this recuperating moments
in these moments
where the spirit meets the pain
and says "enough"


and the weight follows the pain
getting higher and higher
I register for a Pilate's class
anything to get the stomach
core smaller and in balance
after Thanksgiving
I will take the class.

Amen

Anita S. Holzberg
