"Awaiting Dusk"

The sun is setting

Over the red horizon

Emotions-filled eyes

Keenly observes the sky

While the night devours the day

The Japanese tanka is a thirty-one-syllable poem, traditionally written in a single unbroken line. A form of waka, Japanese song or verse, tanka translates as "short song," and is better known in its five-line, 5/7/5/7/7 syllable count form.
