Another effort for the Ronovan haiku challenge with the prompt words Grace and Slip. I thought I’d have a go at a shi rensa: for Grace Darling 1815-1842
Grace Darling a slip
of a girl rescued shipwrecked
sailors from the sea
sailors from the sea
were rescued by Grace even
though their faith had slipped
though their faith had slipped
an heroic act of Grace
salvaged faith in God
salvaged faith in God
slipped into our Darling Grace
and floated her boat

Very, very nice! And I learned something new, and about someone I was unfamiliar with. The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter, as I think of her, sounds like the name of an old oil painting! She had a lovely name.

Thanks Lisa. When I was at school (many years ago) this was a story told to us and resonated. It’s nice to bring it to someo e new after all this time!
