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".

In The Waking - Anita Holzberg


In the waking
  I make a cup of coffee
      home grown Kona
              I hold the cup care-
                          fully
   as I hold this life
          the glass half-full

                volunteers come to help for the wedding

       the curtain of humanity flows over my shoulder
                 
                    in the waiting
                           dreams filtrate
                                 the stage opens
                                          a bride arrives
                     my daughter the budding flower
                                                    of the hour.
