keep you from all harm
thrill you with all of my charm
enfold you, safe, warm.

Sunshine,

Be it lover or child, the haiku is wonderful. You might have one extra syllable in the first line.  However, keeping to a strick 5-7-5 is NOT required.  Great job.

Inclan, once you pointed it out, I saw it right away, but I don't know what to stick in there instead, to get it to what I want to say...

TOE!  I'm doing fine, and in health no decline, but instead, doing and fairing well, like a feline frisky with a new bell!...

Meadowmuse, your not being an afficianado is by no means a regulation, if you enjoy everyone's creations...

You are certainly coming along
with these.  I like your thoughts.
Let 'em flow.

  Now all you need is a proper title. How about "Sunshine Delight" ?
