Happy New Year



At the stroke of midnight"Auld Lang Syne" is sung to celebrate the start of the New Year and is a Scots poem written by Robert Burns and set to the tune of a traditional folk song.  It is well known over the world.

Milo at In medias res
The Golden Eagle at Eagle's Ariel Perspective

And this award to:

Colene at The Journey
Karen at

Joanna at Bionic Writer
Jinksy at Pen is Mighter than the Sword
Michael at In Time
and Susan at Stony River for giving me a forum to flex my microfiction muscles.
