5-7-5-7-7
Usually, each line consists of one image or idea; unlike English poetry, one does not seek to "wrap" lines in tanka, though in the best tanka the five lines often flow seamlessly into one thought.
5-7-5-7-7
California fog
Wrapped in an endless color
(I am here with you)
Like a late green daydream draws
Effortlessly toward evening
...and then all of a sudden you reappear.
