My Summer Love...
James & Oneg's Sweet Summer Song Challenge!!!!
This silly monstrosity is my response to James & Oneg's Sweet Summer Song Challenge. We were asked to write a poem or story inspired by a summer song and to pick a song that represents summer to us.
Here is a link to the challenge if you'd like to hop on board. I had a lot of fun! 😊
My summer song choice is Summer Love by Justin Timberlake. When I think of summertime, I think of budding summer love and hanging out with your crush therefore this song was the perfect choice for me. I just discovered it yesterday and it's been on repeat ever since.
Friendly Tip: I think my poem will make more sense if you listen to the song prior to reading it but do whatever makes you feel most comfortable beautiful people! Here is the link to the song:
I hope that you enjoy it as well as my poem. Here goes:

So buckle up my fair dudey...

Adventures await us...
Let's enjoy the ride...

My Summer Love...
My only caveat is that you must know HIM before you get to know me or it's simply a done dizzle my G...

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

✍️ Tiffany, I took your friendly tip and discovered Justin's "Summer Love." It was a perfect prep for a fun poem. I enjoyed your beats. 😊 I felt respect for your new dance, Real King Kong, but my major props was reserved for your caveat. Your "Summer Love" is a Summer Top 10! 🔟 ✍️👏
