jjhunter: the words 'dreamwidth haikai' superimposed over white puffy clouds on a baby blue sky (dreamwidth haikai baby blue sky)

On the Occasion of Dreamwidth's 4th Birthday

give us your fannish
your queer, your n00bs and your old
your rootless masses

yearning to connect, to dream
to set down, and not to yield —

Dreamwidth welcomes you
pulls out a stool at the bar
lets you set the pace

gives you home to return to
on any internet street

In order of appearance, references are to Emma Lazarus's The New Colossus, Tennyson's Ulysses, and this post by [personal profile] synecdochic respectively.

That does really nail the Dreamwidth community pretty darn well.

I sniffled reading it. It's hard to believe it's been four years of this awesome place!
