Based on the haiku "Dim, dangerous clouds / stampede across the sky. Where / did the sun go hide?", readers can draw the following conclusions from the poetic elements used:

  1. The mood is foreboding and fearful. - The use of "dim" and "dangerous" to describe the clouds suggests a threatening atmosphere, contributing to a mood of foreboding.

  2. The speaker is concerned by the approaching storm. - The imagery of clouds "stampeding" and the question about the sun's whereabouts indicates that the speaker is worried about the impending storm.

Therefore, the two correct responses are:

  • The mood is foreboding and fearful.
  • The speaker is concerned by the approaching storm.
