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 WINTER - Anita Holzberg 


In Winter I come
  like the stoic geraniums
      rigid stems of red
           living in pots
              unearthed

In Winter my courage
    surfaces
         like golden wheat
            like fresh corn
              in a sea of poppies
    
 In Winter
            I see your face again
          after a long absence
                 I have your photo
          I kept that
               sewed up
                    and all the memories
                          of
                    a Love Story
                       now told.
