" 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...
