Foolish Flower

Always tried to do my best still not much earth-blest Of five children one alone makes me grand too foolish in the flower God chaffs the plan in love's forgotten-hour light fails star-bud blooms a Promised Place a table set in brighter rooms beyond regret ____________________________ Note: (In mashing a "normal" poem through a Haiku sieve, I had no conception of "star buds". It happened when I jammed together the thematic elements, lines and rhymes. It was like a bar-fight with my sub-conscience and that's the bloody tooth it spat-out. - R.W)
