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".

I Eat a Peach - Anita Holzberg

Soft shades of morning
   I eat a peach
     peaches from my youth
          we were around a table in my den
                 Jersey peaches
            thick skins, soft insides
                       juice

                                 so I write these lines
                             affinity to peaches
                     thick skin, soft insides
                                sweet sounds of morning
                                    echo in my heart
                                            my mother at the start of this day.
                                   "Hello, ", Mom.
