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".

The Day After the Wedding - Anita Holzberg

In wings I fly
  the sky that indescribable blue
      painter's blue
            the ocean's blue
                 a peacock feather blue


In wings I envelope my community
    Starbucks
         The Post Office
               Hallmark
     vendors for the wedding
         who all wanted to see photos
               of the bride and groom


In wings I shout out greetings
     to New Jersey
         Saratoga
                   LA
             neighbors  on my block
                 


         In wings the Mother of the Bride
               wraps a gift
                     sends a package
                         eats a Chinese meal
                                 drinks water slowly


                          the day after the wedding
                                      as the celebration is spread
                               from person to person
                                 head to toe
                                             don't you know Emily and Jamie got married?


                           Belize are you listening?
