Tanka Help

やっほ~!Heya!

I am writing a tanka for my father as a present and am not sure how loose and stylistic I can be with the grammar, if you have time I would welcome any criticisms/comments.

In particular, I want to try and get the second setsu to 7.

もろ帆綱
微風に鳴く
岸に沿い
ともに漂し
夕之丘へと

もろほづな
びふうになく
きしにぞい
ともにただよし
ゆうのおかへと

I am not sure I can end 漂う with a poetic し in this manner, do you think it’s ok?

Thank you for your help and suggestions!
