Smudge
Merry Christmas smudged /
over smiles and tears; charting /
its own way through pain.

Monday morning writing joke: “Happy hard”
Happy hard
There once was a writer of greeting cards, /
Who found this season a bit of a canard. /
All she had to say /
She’d said already for pay. /
To do it now for free was very hard.
