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".

In the Morning before the Morning - Anita Holzberg

In the morning before the morning
  Autumn brings its coolness
      a blast of air floods my deck


In this morning
    hope and faith light my path


I take the high road
   a new baby about to be born
      a new bike to arrive
           High Holidays
                  time moves so swiftly
                        Halloween coming soon
                           and the projects for Owen to be done
                                    In this morning
                                             peace wings in
                                                 the flower of the hour
                                                        meets up with blue sky
                                                               in time
                                                                  I will be caught in the patch 
                                                                           of blue, too.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg/Poet/Teacher
