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".

Lately - Anita Holzberg

Lately
  when I pick up this house
      to say "Good Night"
no lips are parted
      no hips are swaying
 no redundant wave playing
      on my piano
           all is quieter than quiet
Pichu the cat in the yard
             stands by
     Lately,
            when every chair is put into place
                  every pair of jeans hung
                                  when the last
                  cup of coffee drunk
                          I toast the emptiness
                             of the never-ending day
                                   before
                                         like the schedule that
                                       signals the saying of
                                          "Good Night"
                                                  So,
                                   echos  my heart
                                      sequined to You
                                            as the night ends
                                         near Mid-night now
                                                dreams float
                                           here
                                                like your smile
                                                   on top of the sheets.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
                                ( you  seated in
                                           these rooms.)
                                              still..
