How cute and clever!
You cheered and brightened my day–
Like a daffodil.
Lovely haiku Cherie. I particularly enjoy the strikingly unexpected juxtaposition in the middle line. And it seems to me you have also cleverly matched the format of your verse to the underlying message – you have subverted the "classical" haiku format with 17 syllables, so instead of 5-7-5 you have "over-stretched" the middle line to 8 syllables – a syntactic match for the unrelenting (I read "forced") cheerfulness of the daffodils. Brilliantly and subtly done.

Lovely!
Difficult not to smile, Cherie. Nice. :)

Flowers have a way of putting a smile on the face, even when faced with less than cheerful circumstances. A beautiful expression of sentiment!
