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 Willows - Anita Holzberg


In willows I will speak to you
   volumes
       as the mid-day sun stays
          as the room in its completeness
                  dictates
          as your going and coming is in
                 a wheel chair
    I still see the semblance of your smile
                your kiss
           as I plant an orange tree today
                  and think of you
           here in my yard
                      sitting
                  with the barbecue roaring
             the breeze blowing
time honored
             I take these times to warp around
                          my heart
              beating still
                          for you.
