To understand you have to read Serenity's challenge, I took my words from there. /pip/Forum7/HTML/000471.html

"strange currency"

I find it odd
what deviates from the usual
is never mentioned
All summer I traveled
the quaint streets of New Orleans
most truly, will I speak
saw many strange faces in the crowd
slightly odd or even a bit weird
Strange woman
She may be strange and shy at first,
Differing from the normal
Not comfortable or at ease
Belonging to another country
Reserved in manner
Not according to the common way
Not accustomed or conditioned
but will soon learn to love
Transmission from person to person
bank notes circulating
the currency of a country
strange currency
representing value
belonging to the present time

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

An excellent answer to the challenge, Titia.
The word currency is related to the word current as in current events...
I love the way you pulled the whole thing together.
