Meeting The Bar:  Stream of Consciousness Writing

In stream-of-consciousness writing, the poet or novelist turns to the flow of ideas, observations and emotions that invade our consciousness, many times hovering just below the surface. Novelist Virginia Woolf described this process as “an incessant shower of innumerable atoms.”


Young and handsome,
twinkle in his eye–
still visible in old
age.  Dad enlisted in
the Army, World War II,
and never forgot his
three close buddies.
They got together whenever
possible.

At our neighborhood pool
club, he taught half of
the kids in our apartment
building how to swim.  Most
of them are grandparents now,
and fondly remember 'Irv'.

No words of hatred toward
anyone were ever spoken.  In
Irv's book of rules, all you
needed for health was fresh
air, fresh fruit . . . with
a couple of Mallomars thrown in.
