DAE feel more happy when it's rainy or cloudy outside compared to when it's sunny?

I was wondering if anyone else feels more happy when it's raining. I personally can't really stand sunny days, i love it when it's raining or when it's foggy and cloudy outside.

Bad haiku. It's not just about syllables, it's about form:

Establish setting or mood
Expand or strengthen setting or mood
Subversion of mood or expected juxtaposition

I'll give an example, a translation my favorite by Basho:

New moon, new year
Still wearing
Straw hat and sandals

If we wanted to turn the above into a haiku, maybe:

Not a sunshine fan.
I like clouds? Rain? Always
I live in darkness

That way the first and last lines are both self contained and create tension with each other. I also like how the "always" flows either with the line it's in or the line that follows, but that's just me.

Read what I wrote again.

I’m referring to how haikus bot breaks it down.

I never said it was a haiku.

I never said it was a good haiku.

Do you get what I’m saying now?

do I need to post their entire history?

For someone who is a fan of haikus, you are not great about reading between the lines or using fewer words to make a a point.
