NaPoWriMo 2013 Day Eleven

NaPoWriMo 2013
Day Eleven
The prompt today is to write a tanka. This, like the “American” cinquain, is a poem based on syllables, with the pattern being 5-7-5-7-7. They work best when those final two 7-syllable lines contain a sort of turn or surprise that the first three lines might not wholly anticipate. You can string a bunch of them together to make a multi-stanza poem, or just write one!

Here's mine:

ROCK 'N' ROLL
The rock 'n' roll years
on stage in front of the crowd
the deafening throng

looking for a miracle
five thousand more mouths to feed
110413

Day Eleven last year.

    No problem, if you're playing at the Hard Rock Café...!

    I went to The Hard Rock once, it would be a miracle if they got five thousand people in
    there.
