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".

Spring POEM - ANITA HOLZBERG



In just spring
  when the world is puddle-luscious
          when the frog "rivet rivet"
                      and the sun stays in the sky seemingly
                                    forever
In just Spring
  when the spirits soar
    and we fall in love once more
            with the season of romance
Reckless heads turn
  short shorts appear
    on long legs
     capri for some of less fortunate
In just Spring
  when the puddles are lusious
     when the bees return to the pollen
            when sneezing is beyond believing
when the sun bathing season begins
I sit here on a park bench
  I watch the parade of people go by
Its Spring
  every bush is ringing
        every brook is bubbling
                every head a turning
Ah, Shakespeare wrote about this
      Milton and Yeats adorned this
             the scriptures told about this too....
And You
  What are you doing this Spring day
     Is your head turning too?
