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".

Ortega Park - Anita Holzberg


I visit Ortega Park once again
after many days of missed walks
hanging around my house.

Today's different:
this time I take Bill there
for a picnic of
  yogurt & cabbage,
      dill pickles, 
wonderful mini-pasta.

We pour cold water from    
stainless steel water bottles
into clear plastic cups

I read Bill  my 2 favorite 
Neruda poems...
somehow, two  poet's voices
  penetrate the warm day
      of t-shirted ball-players
          babies & kids,  moms
           roses that bloom
             effortlessly!

             like this day,
             like this precious
             poetic  moment.
