Cerulean Captain - A Tanka

pinned wings ice over

twilight anticipation

sterile white lab coats

forcep clamp hysteria

inextricable bond

Today’s NaPoWriMo optional prompt is “The tanka is an ancient Japanese poetic form. In contemporary English versions, it often takes the shape of a five-line poem with a 5 / 7 / 5 / 7 / 7 syllable-count – kind of like a haiku that decided to keep going.”
