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 Missed the Sunrise - Anita 

I missed the sunrise
  light bright between the trees
       I missed the sunrise
slept in
      Fed the cat at 7 AM
   in 31 degree weather
She stayed outside eating
    her warm coat around her

I missed the sunrise
  but heard your heart among
       the bushes
   heard the start of the day

I had all kind of plans
   a cleanse for me
       if I am able
   a cleaning of the house
   the laundry waits

I missed the sunrise
  there is always tomorrow

The dawn song rings
   in my soul
      every day
            it rings in my soul.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
