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".

I Gather Them In - Anita Holzberg 


I gather them in
  all the pleats of memory
    all the sequins of history
      all the glitz and glam-our
          or a life I led
       the trips to LA
          Frank Israel's designs
            his friendship, too
 
 I gather them in
      pearls and diamond bracelets
         lost
       fragrance of Coco Channel
         shiny hair
       perfumed mornings
         before I saw You

I gather them all
      wind and wonder
         soft petals
      leaves of red
         brick evenings

I chance to meet you in my dream
     sweet pillows of remembrances
        on a bird's wing
             I remember it all
                all the losses I endured
                      even Now.
