Here's the whole live scoreboard.

And here's how participating in this tournament has affected me:

MADNESS
by April Halprin Wayland
 
There's a Superwoman 
caffeinated rush 
in my veins!

I'm becoming that crazy woman
at the top of the highest rollercoaster
laughing hysterically for fifty-five minutes!

And then, bleary-eyed in the morning, 
wearing my robe and slippers,
finding a severed head

in the vegetable bin 
of my refrigerator
next to the iceberg lettuce

when I read my poem
posted for all to see
and realize

it doesn't scan
the way it seemed to

last night.

My opponent this round is the wonderfully original writer and poet, Buffy Silverman.
