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".

A Winter's Poem - Anita Holzberg 


In fog I will look for you
 As the 49ers play their game,
         I will think of you
     you in your man cave
        no one could speak when
           the game was on

In wet and windy Winter
       I will cuddle you

               as time swooped
         you away

I was left with the quilts,
         never without the love.

In how I end the day,
        I will honor you

    You who stood by me
       You who held my hand
              who handled my heart
          sometimes with kid gloves

There was nothing feminine about you
     You were a man's man
           down to your fingernails

               I loved that
       and every inch of you

As the months travel by,
       as I write these poems
            I care for you
          even more Now
                   as dusk comes
          as it sheds dark over my
                   shoulder
            another day closes
                 another day
            with thoughts of YOU.
