Poems to celebrate International Women's Day, written by Ayesha Newsam and Kathy Tytler at the monthly Sun Poets Poetry Group. 

Haikus

Man holds door for girl
She eyes him, no gratitude 
[Pfft, don't say thanks then]

-

Girls holds door for man
She's a kind of a new age girl
He welcomes her grace

-

Feminine sometimes
She's prickly when harm strikes her
Soothed with glass of wine

By Ayshea Newsam and Kathy Tytler
