The Rooster that Thursday is poetry week will start with poetry day. Also the pz Bredene/De Haan lets herself be not risen to the occasion. There is a poet laureate, a poet, and now also a politiedichter. His poem is no grand masterpiece, but an easy-volume writing in verse with some reflections on the police.
