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".

a poem from Anita


soft thoughts
like soft skin
hold the mind in place

harsh words
jolt the soft thoughts
they still stay in tack
I harbor no resentments
just reactions that have no
vengance

soft thoughts
can be strong thoughts
skinned knees
wake
to the world
of conflict

I teetor toter
before my first daughter was born

I tetor tater
in the morning rain
my car on the driveway

soft thoughts
carry me to the promise land
a mecca
the storm
a ring around rainbows
a pillow also soft
to fall on.

Anita S. Holzberg
Word Diva
