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".

If By Chance - Anita Holzberg

If by chance I meet you
  you said nothing
     you gave nothing
           the silences got bigger
                 the glances smaller


If by chance I met you
  your face shining
     your eyes open to the world
          your cheeks dancing


If by chance
   you were next to me
       in a big supermarket
              our carts followed one another outside
                         our choices similar
                             I would take an apple from your cart
                                      I would eat it slowly
                                          showing its juiciness
                                                               on my lips.


If by chance
   I throw everything to the winds
         all manners of first meeting
               all hard to get
                  rolled out the window
                                I will hold your hand for a moment
                                                     over
                                                 in a casual hug
                             If by chance.
