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".

Fall Comes - Anita



Fall comes
Subtle ways 
Darkness earlier
September is almost out the door
Pumpkins and pumpkin lattes
Halloween costumes
Evie's 4th birthday
A darling granddaughter with perfect pitch
A beauty to see
Fall comes quiet mornings
Lay back afternoons
I salute the change of seasons and just be

The Sky Speaks to me - Anita Holzberg

The sky speaks to me
Her voice is heard over the vines
   that climb the fence in my garden
Her cadence is heard with the wind
The littlest sparrow speaks mountains
And the squirrels that run the telephone wires
Come in full view as my day begins
The sky speaks to me
Like a light-- a lantern in morning time
Of promise and hope
I hear the nuances of a new day
I salute the sunrise

Round about - by Anita

Round about
The robin sings
The chant can be heard throughout
I take my leave
Time and place doesn't contain me
It is the Stars that illuminate my heart and a fleeting past love that brings the gold.

SOFTLY - Anita Holzberg

Softly the crowd disperses
Softly the day begins with toast and marmalade
And the rivers recede 
The birds return
Time and place kiss the universe

Anita Schiffman Holzberg

A poem by Anita

lodged in a particular time and space
we send messages to sky
the beautiful bird captures it
we are amazed that the universe speaks
like live internet wires without shocks.

Anita S. Holzberg
