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".

Not So Fast - Anita Holzberg 


Not so fast
  the moon recedes
    the planet turns
         the earth goes brown
    the rivers dry

Not so fast
     the greening of America
            solar roofs
        solar houses
             my own house
         curbed for energy

Not so fast
        this world changes
           tablets and iphones
              fast communication
            voids in intimacy

      Not so fast
I cherish my friends
       my writer friends
              who understand me
         in this sea of communication
              glitches
         there still is poetry
              a small voice
             steady and strong
                 not so fast.
