Between Friends: Softly - Anita Holzberg

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 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.
