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 Loved You and in the Loving, loved me too - Anita Holzberg 

In solitude
  in complete quiet
    in separateness
        with a loving heart
    I write these lines

Had I had a partner
  Had I had a lover
Had I teamed with someone

These lines might not come

Fresh bread for morning song
Fresh flowers for my heart

I loved you
  you were my everything
      until
          it was over
  vacant days
          lonely nights

I loved you like breath itself
and in the loving, I began to love me
         too

Quiet days
   quieter nights
          I speak to you now
in poetry, in verse
     the heart never forgets
          the depth of feeling
the heart never forgets.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
