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".

Sounds - Anita Holzberg 

Walking free
  now
      its dusk
          a small chirping of birds
                  in my neighborhood
             crumbs left
                  from this morning's
             "feed the birds routine"
        of little kids and their Moms

           A trumpet of sounds
                horns
                   garbage cans
                         dragged in
                  grass cutters and
                           blowers
                      still working
             in an almost dark sky

            Sleep comes quietly
                   over the houses
          the hustle and bustle
               its after 9 now
            no news tonight
               only sounds from a piano
                    sitting in a living room
              sounds that raise the spirit
                       in their playing

              Then quietude abounds
             not a leaf
                  not a wing
                         stirring.
