Poem: His Laugh …a Haiku about death

When we think of him
We just can’t stay sad too long
His laugh forces smiles

About the poem:
In October, a longtime friend died. He was a joker. But his death came as a surprise and left many of us in shock. But when we start thinking of him, within seconds we are laughing, shaking our heads. His spirit was an impish light-hearted troublemaker, and it is that that won’t let us stay sad for long.
