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".

A New Day - Anita

In truth
 the turtle does not see her spots
        the monkey does not really laugh
  Picchu's voice is hear over the stillness of morning
  Time the great executioner

     today is my friend's funeral
     He died in a fire in his house
      Tragic and sad
     I go to honor him
     My feet are bad
     But I still go

the salamander slithers
  the frog jumps
  the earth worm moves through mud

the day begins with memory
 the night is over
the black and white sequences of silence
 cover my face

How about You?

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
