Haiku for Beginners

Dr <DD> got me going on this…….he is a bit of a dab hand, as you can read. I am, on the other hand, very much a beginner…..I am not even sure that I see the point, although I am trying hard. I would like it to be on the way to writing some (real?) poetry. Let’s see how I get on and you too, if you want to have a go. All welcome!
