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 Walk - Anita Holzberg


tenacious heart
  beating to the rhythm
I walk on sand
  in bare feet
I walk into life
  as a brisk day
     with the geraniums blooming
            with the fierce river rolling
                 with the sun in the sky
                    like an orange ball
                           shining
I hear you
  when I am in the shower
     when I am in the yard
           when I start the barbecue
               you were here
          and the memory is sweet
                  I lost you now
            but I will never leave you
                  I bought you chocolates
                          and strawberries

                    Tenacious love
                           holds the rudder
                       through time.
