Note: I don't usually write poetry, but I gave it a shot when iyissekiwa hosted a poetry challenge... Imagine my surprise when my entry placed second in the haiku category!

Am I a woman,
Sango wonders, or am I
just one of the guys?

She fights beside them,
Hiraikotsu ready
Deadly... beautiful?

Although she is strong,
from time to time she wavers -
fleetingly unsure.

Her question: is it
better to be a woman
or a warrior?

When their battles are done,
their greatest foe laid to rest,
which life should she choose?

The monk's sneaky hand,
in its place on her bottom,
gives the answer: both.
