In memory of my friend Chet: 1934-2007.

First the cradle rocks

We get on with what we must

And then the hearse rolls

Ken Bultman: I like the haiku genre. This haiku you have written brought memories of my father’s death.
I’m also a journalist by profession, except in my case English is my Second Language.
I hope to learn from you. Thanks!

I’m back. I see you have mastered the Haiku. Great. I am going to jump in one of these days, and see if I can do it. You put a whole life time in three sentences. Wow!
