XLI

41

(As in, "Today, I am..."   I still say life is linear, and just because some guy put 365 days into a year doesn't make this annual lap around the track mean all that much.  But I will take the cake and presents... AND my favorite present is absolutely the following two Haikus... is it two Haiku.... two Haiki??  From the middle of my three sisters.)

Happy Birthday
A new year begins
Raise a pint and share a tale
Amongst throngs of friends

The Sentinel
Eldest of the five
Sees us now through eyes of then
Keeper of "agos"

My sisters rock!  So does my brother, but he's strictly a couplet man.
