Title: Tidal Poetry — Verses in Salt
Prompt: Pair four salt-stung poems with a living tide where flood, slack, ebb and storm each own a stanza that surfaces line by line. Tapping the water should turn the verse. Keep the reader in serif italics and the sea in foam, sand and coral on abyssal blue.
Design: A rounded poem card with staggered line reveals and tide tabs beside a tall arched canvas sea with moon and foam, plus swell/moon sliders and a three-book shelf with mixed radii and colored fore-edges.
Visual techniques:
- Canvas triple-wave stack with moon-scaled level and storm chop factor
- Staggered line-in keyframes per verse line and shimmer accents
- Tap ripples that advance the poem state
- Per-tide palette logic with foam glints and moon halo
- Serif italic headlines against Verdana tide controls
Interaction model: Tide tabs and shelf books swap poems with read counters, tapping water advances flood to slack and settles storms, swell and moon sliders reshape wave height and level, and verses re-animate on every turn.
