The Prime Minister's haiku

[nwhyte]

I didn't realise this, but apparently our Prime Minister writes haiku and posts them on his blog:

Rough translation of the most recent: Als de lente start

verrijzen de crocussen.

Op weg naar Pasen.At spring's beginning

Crocus flowers return to life.

Easter is coming.I can't reproduce the full sense of "verrijzen" (which normally means "resurrect") in translation, but you get the idea.
