This month marks the 3 year anniversary of the BIPOC Fur Discord and I’m celebrating that with another poem. This one is themed on Unity and the DTIYS(Draw This In Your Style) Event & art that we’ve got going on. Drew inspiration from the original art piece also. Poem is below. Thanks for reading!

What Is A Rainbow If Not Colors Uniting To Stay One?
By: A.X. Bueno

A rainbow is a special though often seen phenomenon
Something special to which we tend to be drawn
Multiple colors separate and visually distinct yet bound together as one
Light refracted and reflected after going through water and coming from the sun
It originally started as something simple and changed to become a bit more complex
Becoming a variety of colors that can signify the end of a storm’s effects
There’s comfort in having a space split from the default to connect
With those reptiles, animals, birds of a different scale, fur or feather
Of course not all are crafted from the storms and life’s harsh weather
Some are merely looking for a place of colors a similar shade to theirs
Looking for what connects us and stories to be shared
A comforting place where you feel a lot less likely to get awkward questions and weird stares
Of course there’s still more to be done to help the colors shine better and brighter
There’s always space to improve and help the community become that little bit tighter
If the colors blend right and you’re looking to unite with more people you’ll know where to go
Look for the brown dog mascot sometimes surrounded by rainbow
