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".

I Came From Nature - Anita Holzberg 

I came from Na ture
                 my shoes wet
                       my heart out there on the horizon
                               my face with droplets
                                       of rain glowing

I came in from rainy Nature
 my lips parched
     my teeth yellow
           my arms sagging
               with the age

I came in
 the blankets cover my toes now
    the cup of passion tea in my hand
        the bath flooding the room

I came in
quietly
    without a sound
       my Picchu was inside too
     watching the rain come down
              the drops pervade my garden's face
        
I came in
            the quiet s o u n d
 Nature abounds.
