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".

Freedom~Anita Holzberg

Its all about the web

that vast net that catches us

makes us work

for whatever we have



clouds claim our spirit when

it does not move ahead



Its all about climbing out

the butterfly metaphor

I found my freedom

again



some might call it resilience



I call it



God.

In the Waking - Anita Holzberg

In sickness
and in health
I come to thee

the heavens
have my name

solace and saniety
replace
days and nights
of
when movement stopped
as the clock
ticked to oblivion





Ahora, the mind walks
in another direction

un lumiere petit
shines
within.

Babies - Anita Holzberg

Babies          
make their imprint of the earth's floor
encumbered by life's frailities
they survive
they find shelter and food
their Mama the core
Even in romote Mongolia
A baby in a pail of water
walks out of the pail
the co
ws and chickens
his playground

Amazing
photography no words
Powerful beyond cultural
boundaries'

Lu - by Anita Holzberg

Lu
face sparkling
walked down the hall
the walker, her new found friend

Great friends for 20 plus years
the happy times
the sad times
ran a design business together

Great friends show up and keep up
the smiles
the chatter about everything
" Hard to leave"
"Keep up the exericse"
I say
"Your make-up looks great!"
Keep that smile on your face."
