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".

The Wedding Weekend Ends - Anita Holzberg

The wedding weekend ends
       the hoopla is over
           birds walk on sand
                pieces of the couple rocks
                     high in the chair of Havanagela
                          walking down
                                a white dream waltzing
                                         to a teary eyed groom watching
                            joining their nephew
                                        the three year old rocker
                                              filled with energy and verve
                            hugging on a sailboat no high waves here
                                               cheer by cheer
                                                     in the clear
                            commanding presence under a chupa
                                               of blue and white
                                        order and president
                                                   pomp and circumstance
                                                       reigns supreme
                                            Jamie and Emily
                                                        the dream team


                          Put away the flowers
                                 pack up the cake
                                     send off dozens of doves
                                          in our minds
                                                    lightheartedness
                                                           pushes kites to the sky
                                                                    as time moves us all
                                                                              by the by.
