Grace is hosting D’Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with Stream of Consciousness writing. She explains that basically, its purpose is to emulate the passage of thought through your mind without any inhibitors. For that reason, sentences become longer, less organized and more sporadic in style. Its lack of structure is not for everybody, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any order. Stream of consciousness permits deeper patterns of order to emerge, ones based on the genuine movement of information in your brain.
The road is long and not for the faint-hearted It will bend and twist uphill and down Unforgiving and full of pot holes There is no choice on this journey of life You will stumble and fall and at times you will reach a crossroads where sometimes you will stay in neutral Unsure and unknowing You will take the wrong path without question but you will learn from the mistake and carry on to the next junction With experience you will choose wisely There are no shortcuts on this road called life
My instincts screamed at me but I chose not to listen You, opinionated and arrogant Rubbing me the wrong way but charming and smooth with an engaging charm I turned a blind eye Telling myself the positives outweighed the negatives But a bad apple poisons the barrel and we died a slow and painful death
