WOW.  Total fail on my part last night. 

Martin even said to me during the bout "Remember no repeats" and I didn't even really get what he meant by that.  I drank a lot at the intermission because I didn't think I made it into the second round. 

At the end of the night, near midnight with more that half of the audience already gone, I tied for second place with Bolko and we were told to do a haiku deathmatch.  Bolko didn't want to do it. 

I felt pressured, drunk, anxious and flustered and I didn't see why this was happening.  Anyway, I rattled off one of my haikus that I had used from the Haiku Deathmatch Championship a week earlier.  Somehow, in my head, I was in a consequence-free environment but now that it's morning and I'm sober, I can't see how I thought that.

So that's my quest for a hundred.  Dead at 16 including the two poems I read last night.  I feel awful about it but let this be a reminder to the rest of you.  I think that's just Sean and RC at this point but there you go.

I don't know if haiku counts, lol.
Does it?
If so, than I have 8 new ones too :)

It just means you have to start from scratch...

And it was a total WTF is happening situation.  I'd be willing to scratch the over sight since Bolko didn't want to slam off anyway.

Otherwise I added two more haikus.

It's cool.  I figure that it was my screw-up and I should own it.  It's a painful dart to take but that's the deal.  My counter has reset to 0.

Oh goodie, this means I am in the running.

This challenge might actually motivate me to participate again!
My count is 9 :)

8 haiku and 1 rather odd suite of dinosaur poems.

Okay.  So on Monday I did Star Trek Rap and Beverage Lids.

I'm at a red-hot 2 now.  Watch your backs.

Maybe one of the hosts could make mention of this challenge at Cafe Deux one day soon, for the folks that do not read the forums :)  It would give us some new blood, and it would help us as a city reach the 100 poem goal!
