Hi, all. Hope I'm not overdoing it with these submissions, but I'm afraid I
keep doing it wrong. I promise, this is the last time for this one (at least,
until I take all your marvelous suggestions and do a few rewrites).

Well, here goes! After three months or so on the List, I'm finally subbing.
I can hardly believe it myself.

Just a few quick notes about myself, since none of you know me -- I grew up
in southwestern Pennsylvania, graduated from Springfield College in
Massachusetts in 1972, married in 1975, have three kids, and now live in 
Phoenix, AZ. By the way, while at SC, I was kicked off the gymnastics team for 
partying too much.
 With all that time on my hands, I became involved in campus politics,
participated in an administration building takeover, and was carted off to
jail in a paddywagon.  Now, however, I'm a "born again" Messianic Jew, which
is why I know about Sally Stuart's Christian Writer's Market guide.

Okay, enough already! So what have I written? Here it is (crits welcome, of
course) --

Late Night Spat

Rags on a clothesline
Flap in gusts of anger,
Demanding attention
By their noisy intrusions
On the landscape
Of my mind.

Sharp words hang in space
"A disturbance in the Force;"
Revisited retorts stir breezes
Into whipping  winds.
I can't deny passions
Hung out to dry
While you sleep.
