Between Friends: A New Person in the Group

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".

How the dimension changes

comfortable conversation

poems flowing like whipped cream

on blueberries

I sat next to You

a person I have known for 5 or 6 years--a true friend

I sat across from Bill, my mentor, my friend

I sat across from Karl, whose poetry sang with the night

And Ginny raised the questions with her great poem

Rita watched with rapt attention

Her comments about herself

the amazing difficult life she had

told with verve and wit and humor

Isn't that what loving is all about?

Staying together for the long haul

Respecting artistic pursuits

Supporting the life that walks in

a room

This small group sustains that

I cherish it

I really do!
