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 Purple - Anita Holzberg


In purple clouds
      I lay
In purple mountains
      I sleep
In purple dreams
      I continue to continue
The lapping of the river
      always in my ear
The shadow of the morning song
The wayward wind in the trees that
         right now are still before me
For the company I keep
For the passion I engender

For all things big and small I champion
I set my mind out to sea
like Pablo Neruda
Always searching
Always finding
The irony of it all
Things come when we least expect them

I ride the purple mountains
  and the steel blue sea

everyday

I do.
