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".

The Cheese Stands Alone - Anita x

I will sit again in the corner
 memorizing the wall
I will wait at noon time
  for your call
How many years the wallflower
The fly on the wall
How many years
  "the cheese stands alone"

Today, I own up to this
Today, I am stronger than that

I live  alone, dine alone, bath alone
say good night alone

I can say these words in sadness
I can cry over these words

But, alas, I do not
My best friend holds my truth
My best friend says goodnight
My best friend stands up to my sadness

I am not alone

I am not sad

And the cheese has more than one best friend.
