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".

We are what we have met - Anita Holzberg


In truth
the waves of time will
envelop me
In truth
the little bud will capture me

In truth
I walk these streets for over 25 years
the bad times
not returning

In truth
I hold Elisabeth's hand
and we talk our hearts out
as the afternoon sun
runs over our shoulders

We grow older
in truth
certain things
remain
like good friends
good food
laughter near the fireplace

We grow older
pain sets in
the body walks slower
the heart never slows down

We are what we have met
soft shades of morning
children dancing in the street of Now
shoes for the fisherman
studded rainbows
rising
Be.
