Kingfisher

brilliantly colored
	scuba diving apparel ~
		array on parade

prettily perching
	fun, feathered festivity ~
		eyes on the prizes

watching and waiting
	intelligent inquiry ~
		flickering movement

mobile suit gundam
	beak poised in full readiness ~
		instinctive appetition

	diving without halt
	flying somersault

NB: Other - Haiku Sonnet form created by David Marshall; 4 haikus plus a couplet of either 5.5 or 7.7 syllables, total of 14 lines.

I’ve only seen a couple of Kingfishers and never perched. In flight they’re like a tiny luminescent metallic blue dart. Absolutely awe inspiring and beautiful. You capture that little bird wonderfully, Linda. All the best in the contest. Terry

Hey Terry. They are hard to spot in trees. I hadn't thought of the dart analogy, but you are correct-great! Thanks for your read and wishes! :)
