Between Friends: poem by Anita

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".

Walk now,

Speak

little children light the way

I meet a 5 year old

we talk a bit

write a bit

use a magic slate

I watch her

her mind clicking

we go over the new words

always that verve

somedays, when I feel I can not go on,

I go to the little people

watch teach them

shape them

this has been the silver lining

it has!
