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 Newness - Anita Holzberg


In newness I come
  spanky sparky newness
     like a shiny penny
        sequined sleeves
                gold bags
            sparkle shoes

In newness I come
     like every day starts the same
           like every moment is never the same

Choice words around an oak table
      You were all here once

In newness I come
   not looking back
      the old remarks
               the old tire
          the old typewriter in the garage
               an antique of memories

In newness I come
     like the budding rose
           looking for water
     like the fish looking for food
     like a woman looking for love 
        in the vast forest
            of life.
