turned EU president, is such a fan of the Japanese verse form of haiku that he has published a book of his efforts.Launched in Brussels, the slim hardback volume reproduces the poems in four EU languages--the original Flemish along with French, English and German--as well as Latin.
Written over six years, the book is dominated by succinct descriptions of natural scenes, or the passage of time, some composed on the author's official travels.
