'Twas the night before Christmas And within DeviantArt’s borders, Many artists were inside Due to stay-at-home orders. Yes, some were essential, Others kept to their sphere. There was no denying the holidays Looked different this year. More rapid than Sonic The bad news this year came. Twas basically a Billy Joel song, With “This is fine” dog in flames. But through so much sadness, One thing gave us heart. There was a way to stay connected While physically apart. DeviantArt’s vibrant community Gave a much-needed reprieve: A place to share, to create, to support, and to grieve. Our community thrives on awareness, Working through emotions with art. Connections through shared passions Makes us a little less apart. So while this year’s poem Is less merry and bright, The kindred spirits we’ve found here Bring inspiration and light. Santa’s message to deviants As he rode out of view: “Happy Holidays to all! 2020, we won’t miss you!” ╰( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )つ──🎨*:・゚ –Creatively crafted
