Haiku by Īda Dakotsu (1885-1962)
The poetry contest of Bananafish!
STEEM and @steembasicincome shares given weekly!

News of this edition:
• Best Haiku award will be directly in STEEM and no longer in steembasicincome shares
• There’s a new award for the best comment supporting another’s participant favorite haiku (1 SBI)
• Everyone is strongly advised to post the English translation of their haiku, to facilitate the reading by all the participants


For those that want to unleash their poetic potential, here is how this contest works:
• Look at the prompt image and let yourself be inspired by it.
• Write a haiku related to the prompt image. The haiku should be composed by 3 verses with no title. The 1st verse should be 5 syllables long, the 2nd verse should be 7 syllables long, and the 3rd verse should be 5 syllables long again.
• If you aren’t confident with English enough, you can write your haiku in Spanish, French, or Italian as well. Only remember, if you write in languages different from English, please include an English translation for other readers.
• Post the haiku on your blog or in the comment section below this post. If you make your own post, don’t forget to put the link to it in the comment section below!

Your autumnal kami

Let’s the Bananafish Tribe grow together!

With delegations, @bananafish VP will grow and consequently the upvotes given to every contest entry will be higher. @f3nix, @theironfelix, @raj808, @brisby, @maverickinvictus, @cyemela, @marcoriccardi, @calluna, @oivas, @anixio, @ntowl are the names of the proud Bananafish Knights who already delegated a fraction of their SP to this project.
Following the voting trail is a way to make sure you always support the other participants to the Bananafish contests, automatically upvoting the posts (but not the comments) @bananafish upvotes. @foffelius, @steelochlaver, @f3nix, @marcoriccardi, @anixio, @gwilberiol, @brisby, @calluna, @ntowl, @dirge, @iamthegray, @seesladen, @theironfelix, @letalis-laetitia, @vdux are already in the trail.
If you’re interested, here you can find all the information needed.
I'm happy to communicate that I started sustaining an awesome project by the genius @anarchyhasnogods called Collective Intelligence. Cheers to our yellow-pinned buddies @theironfelix and @dirge who talked to me about it and are moderators in the @co-in community.
So far, I understood that this is a promising and disruptive model, which rewards quality based on a decentralised consensus protocol.. what does it mean? I'll submit your worthy stories to the @co-in platform and hopefully this will result in some interesting upvotes for you. If you want to have a practical idea, you may check the CI vote boost of the last Mizu no Oto edition, after @theironfelix submission.
