Hi Joanie,
I like the poem, but I feel experiential haiku is superior to anything calcaluted to make non-on Japanese haiku.
What made you on a gut level write a poem?

I like it. Is personification okay in Haiku? I'm not an expert...

Oonah, I have no idea whether personification is acceptable in Haiku! Perhaps I'll find out soon!

Alan, I have to confess that I have been avoiding replying to your response! On a gut level, what made me write a poem??!! This really made me think! I suppose I looked out of the window, saw the rain and the twilight, and thought that, despite the greyness, the sunny days will return.
In response to Oonah's query - is personification OK in Haiku??
Thanks in anticipation.

According to Constance over at EDP - and Haiku is her thing - pure Haike deals with nature only and not with nature's realationship to people, so anything anthropomorphic would not be right. However, there are other short Japanese forms in which this is acceptable.
