Between Friends: It is what it is I speak to myself thorugh my journals-Anita

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".

The icing of the cake

rolls off my tongue

the chocolate drips

on my chin

I was not supposed to dance with sugar

I hold these moments close

as I speak to myself these days

I never wanted to be alone

I speak to myself through my journals

and find I am my best

friend now

that Jim is away

The doors of the mind open

They rest on silver tongues

that are silent now

as the sea of memory

Reality is quiet halls

stilled mornings

Picchu holdings

open space..................
