Between Friends: Affirming poetry

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".

Morning comes

I make an omelet of spinach,

feta, and herbs

It becomes golden brown

it is the first omelet of April

so delicate and delicious!

I call a friend and she reads me her poem

I read her two of mine

Just talking my favorite

I tell her to write poems of the everyday

We talk about Jane Hirschfield's poem in

the New Yorker which she reads to me

We will meet in a week and continue

the conversation

Affirming poetry.
