Spectral Cittadina, A Tanka Couplet in Honour of the Cinque Terra, 100 Days of Poetry (Day 17) @d-pends & Digital Art
five villages on the shore
earthen hued abodes
spectral cittadina
the hillside holds a rainbow

...
crepuscular lit
the day ebbs and the night flows
a prism cascades
the town is a waterfall
ochre and umber washed out
The Cinque Terra are five towns perched on the Italian Riviera. They renowned for their beauty.

A heartfelt thank you to those at the Steemit School for hosting the challenge:)
Hey, I've been there, ate in a restaurant up high! Glad to revisit it in your colorful write-up, thank you :)
A little piece of paradise:)
Well paired! I read it twice just to slow down, if that makes sense? Love those Haiku.
Thank you, mamadini:)
A lovely poem of transitions
Thank you, John:)
Hello @prydefoltz, beautiful images accompanied by a beautiful poetry. Greetings.
Thank you, cordero:)
Very nice! Glad my photo offered some inspiration :)
Thank you, Adonis:):):)
This is quite arresting with the ebb and flow of words pulling the images together with it.
Sorry, I am terrible as a friend. Truly. I thought I was following you and it unlinked AGAIN. I have terrible trouble with my account.
Your work is always amazing and I get mad at myself for not remembering to make my way over here after I finish!
oxxo
I am glad you are here now. Is that a problem. It was a problem on youtube where we were all being unsubbed from each other.
No, but I have the same people over and over that I have to refriend. For the longest time, I wasn't Paul's friend so I never went over there. LOL
Oh, bless his bruised heart. That is an awful glitch and could cause some hurt feelings. I used to follow just about everyone back, but these days I never check who is following me, but I always look through my upvotes and follow back from there to return views. From what you are telling me that might be a better fail safe. About to do that now:)
You are inspired by these wonderful towns and you can compose a haiku anytime.
Thank you, Blue:)
My pleasure!
Wow. Sometimes haikus are recognisable because they are forced. I didn't spot it, they flowed so naturally. Beautiful x
Thank you, GBH. With some real haiku purist, they follow some pretty stringent rules and these rules can sometimes hinder flow and imagery. I often prefer to add two more lines of 7 and make it a tanka ... this adds for more expression and makes the haiku less vague and more 'poetic' or accessible. So glad you enjoyed and really appreciated the visit. Wishing you a wonderful day:)
There is a contest here that talks about the history of haiku and how the western interpretation is not necessary correct. They promote flow ahead of rules applied to syllables. Have you seen it? I will track it down. I just woke up, will have coffee first. My son wakes early. We have an airport curfew, I tell him he has to stay in bed until the planes wake up. 6am they have to circle above Sydney before they can land. It sounds crazy for a major city.
I'm rambling. Back soon. Caffeine.
Steemit has been quite BTW. It happens when it dips, hang in there it is across the whole platform.
I think part of the problem is that a lot of minnows have not enough SP at the moment for even a penny vote. It is disheartening for them and they abandon ship.
Yes, it's not just minnows either. The slightly larger fish that are accustomed to earning dollars then drop to cents drop off too.
I have seen a few dips but this is a very quiet one for sure.
It is coupled with an unresolved problem of a group or an individual who is fleecing the reward pool.
This recent post by papa p and over 400 comments discusses the problem.

The increase in new account comments that are irrelevant, don't make sense and up vote themselves irritate me too.
I thought it was pretty standard practice that people up-voted themselves. I am not sure this bothers me so much. I think I know who you are talking about. He is not breaking any rules but he is gaming the system, for sure. There are a lot of people that I have witnessed that follow a pretty similar pattern. But I do think maybe a limit might be a good idea or some way to way to encourage and reward those who use the platfrom closer to how it is intended. They need to make it profitable to support the platform. Maybe rewards views, raw upvotes and comments and author-responses and not just upvote value. Reward authentic traffic and interaction.
Yes, you are quite right, it is better to comment and upvote rather than plagiarise entire articles, which happens way too much.
Up voting your own post is completely fine as far as I'm concerned, particularly in the current climate, people put a lot of work in. I up my posts, not my comments, but it is not prohibited.
Self up voting multiple brief comment puts me off. I like to up vote if people comment on my post, because I truly appreciate the interaction, but it puts me off when they have given 10 other people the same compliment in the past 10 minutes and rewarded themselves for it.
There is a fat walleted account with linked accounts that is wiping out the rewards pool with multiple rubbish posts.
People who get many votes and don't make much should somehow be recognised too. The trending pages do not reflect the community.
I haven't been to the trending page since I first got on here. I usually check out who my friends follow when I want to expand my circle and feed list.
Some really interesting reads are linked on the subject of structuring a haiku

Thank you, GBM. I looked into dbooster when I first arrived. I wanted to seek out the haiku folks:) He's cool:)
Well, I'm glad somebody things so ;)
Ahhh ... the walls have ears. Nice to see you:)
