Shiner Haiku

" Shiner Haiku "

by Suzán Jiván

I

Silvery to blue
knocking sounds and purring noise
swims with fins erect

II

Currents over sand
clear to turbid, small to large
pectoral fin rays

III

Moderately forked
in northwest territories
feeding on insects

IV

Leap a few inches
capture insects just above
a prolonged hover

V

Small rivers, clear creeks
considered a subspecies
berry-red lips, cheeks...
