One Day - Anita Holzberg

Skies hung over
  milder temps
stationary remembrances
I follow the rain
Buy some sweet grapes and 
   and frozen Greek yogurt
I think my meals will be simple now
soup=yogurt=grapes
I wanted to buy more
but my feet gave out
and I was lucky to make it home.

Anita poem x

Clouds cover
    Picchu runs in
The last afternoon remembers
    your soft hands
       a walk in the sunshine
as my willow tree pruned,
      all dead branches gone
new life.

Ring in the New Year! - Anita

It was a cold Winter's night at the very end of December. My neighbor walked me 
across the street to a pleasant and warmly decorated home filled with the 
Christmas tree and all her ornaments. We shared some antipasto with
artichokes, salami, Italian cheeses, shrimp and delicious shrimp sauce, 
mushrooms and sliced Italian bread. We
toasted the New Year with Sparkling apple cider. We told stories about our 
childhood holidays. We ate homemade
borsch (beet) soup and steamed cod, yams in chicken broth, and green beans. We 
also had some earl grey decaf tea, after some wonderful Polish chocolates. The 
conversation went on for over 4 hours. I left just before Mid night
with a wing and prayer, and went back across the street with my neighbor. It was 
a wonderful evening!! I will never
forget the ease of talking together. Yes, it was a happy way to begin the New 
Year.
