A poem from Anita

Brilliant sun
   over the shoulder dreams
        tomorrow night
               a reading of my work
         before the poet community

         Chances are
             after poetry
                   there is always something
             brewing
                  coffee at Starbucks
                        speaking French
                    fresh apple pie
                      
    Creativity runs through my fingers
             and through all of us.....
                     Honor it!

Anita's poem

The fog rolls in
     the temperature dips
           Monday and Tues near 100
     30 degrees cooler
          We salute the end of August
                  the kids go off to school
              the lazy hazy days of summer fleeting
          I visit some wonderful gardens
                            3 woman together in straw hats
                   the petunias and begonias brimming
                these trimmings
                       bring their own set of joy!

Cream colored clouds
       purple morning glories
          excited voices
              the end of August phrases
         In the haze of fog
               I begin my day
            coffee smells so so good
                  as it streams through
              my home.  

School begins -Anita Holzberg

I watched Misaki
   my 5 year old Japanese neighbor
         go off to Kindergarten
     her smile as wide as the new day
   Her day victorious

By Anita

In the winds of change
I walk the diving board
I memorize trees
I do as I please
summer is fleeting
It will remain in my heart.

Anita Holzberg

Imagine 10 poets on a deck
spouting images into the balmy summer air
the tuxedo cat hiding but hearing the words

They came from Pasadena, a city near Los
Angeles and brought a new way of looking
at love, city, hip hop and relationships

My group of poets more conservative and more
studied
gave the balance

Their thoughts echoed deep into the night.
