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)
