I couldn't resist the challenge. Two entries:
That Good might know you
Loved Me freely, I allowed
Your choosing evil.
More enjambment than is typical in a haiku (but, hey, that's our guy). But
also too light on imagery, which the following partly corrects:
From a garden's goods,
The fruit that, shunned, would show you
Loved freely eaten.
