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".

Halloween - Anita Holzberg 

life is for the living
  I breath a breath of fresh air
      I let Picchu in
               cool mornings cool evenings
                      the Harvest moon presides

I decide to make a photo frame for Owen
  out of ghost fabric
         Halloween is coming soon
                  so is my knee surgery

        If by chance
                 I walk the path of
                      close to home
                          I clean a closet
                             clean the garage
                         write reams of poetry
                               as the day begins

                 I begin again in my heart
                       soft Autumn mornings
                              fleece jackets
                                 a jack o lantern
                                               lights the way.
