What’s New?

What’s new?

So what’s new?

New is learning better eating habits.

New is that book I started that I must finish

New is learning a new language

New is to do something new

 

I asked what’s new.

Not what needs to change.

 

Ah, What needs to change?

What needs to change is the cacophony of noise outside

What needs to change is for people to listen more

What needs to change is the cost of everything

What needs to change is who we are and how we interact with each other

 

Not what needs to change,

What are you doing differently now?

 

Ah, different now.

Pumpkin spice is different from everything else I used to buy

It seems Christmas is an October holiday, so purchasing decorations.

I’m not seeing as many kids around during the day.

There are a lot of signs promoting someone or another on cars and lawns.

 

You’re not listening to me!

What is new in your life?

 

Oh, that. Why didn’t you ask me that in the first place?

Nothing much.

How about you?

What’s new?

 

(Speechless)

However, since this was written on “Talk Like a Pirate Day,” there was one utterance.

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!
