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".

Softly - Anita Holzberg



Softly the day starts
  the humming of the heater
the shades of light coming through 
  In my yard another version of Picchu
only bigger
  Picchu afraid as she quickly eats her breakfast
the cat does not leave
Picchu leaves the yard to find a safe place
So much like life, we leave sometimes to be safe.
Softly, the day starts
There is music from my piano
There is Mocha following me around
Room to room
Breakfast is honey nut cheerios and almond milk
a banana too
Sometimes, these familiar events calm my soul
Softly, I dream, too.

In this moment - Anita Holzberg


In this moment
  geese fly
    cats are fed
         the heater pumps
The fog is here
      the pumpkins roll
the lemonade sips
the connection between me and thee
continues
my grandkids rocks
Life is about moving forward always
to greet the day
Optimism and hope rests on the horizon
I just have to look.

from Anita 


Winds blow
Leaves fall
Pumpkins roll
Fall is crisp and clear
And all we hold
dear!
