On Sunday, 5th March, International Women’s Day
was celebrated at the National Coalmining Museum. Amongst a plethora of events
the resident poetry group, Coalshed Poets, invited attendees to pen a haiku.
It’s scary the unknown,
How do we look forward
in hope?
Present in turmoil!

Only source of light,
It’s precious, lives
depend on it
Down this deep, black
hole.
Anon
Out in drizzling rain,
Almost like coal mining
is a game
Against society’s gain.

Cold, wet March morning
Gathering to celebrate
Women and the mines

Driving here today
Windscreen wipers
stopped working
Feeling very stressed!

Damp and wet
Many memories
Let’s celebrate

On a wet March day
We women came to
Caphouse
For songs and poems

Cycling alone
To the end of the
Pennines.
Drink? Toilet? Or both?
