I love you like soft petals on skin like the crackle of an open fire like the glitter of winter and cold night like bubbles in champagne and whispers on the wind I love you more than I can say than I can wish to pour into words other than the three I know so … Continue reading More than I can say
I know you want me to run - screaming into the hills like the banshee I am in all of your paintings hung in a gallery of shame; each one titled ‘self-hate’. Poem: © Kristiana Reed 2019 Between the Trees UK Between the Trees US Available internationally
The sweetpea and cyclamen look resplendent in the thunder: catching the lightning as they sway in the breeze of fallen leaves and rain. Poem: © Kristiana Reed 2019 Between the Trees UK Between the Trees US Available internationally
I woke to the rain painting the windows; abstract polka dots and rivers. I woke to the silence of sleep, your body beside me, wrapped in cotton sheets; your breath whistling to and fro. The rule is: whoever wakes first makes the coffee, so I slip on my dressing gown and my flip flops … Continue reading Sunday: morning coffee
The afternoon stretched its limbs into the evening, leagues past noon: a sky the texture of candy floss and the colour of a brewing storm. Wind buffeted the waves as the tide retreated far out, slipping away from the estuary and into the ocean’s recesses. Wind buffeted my face, spinning locks of hair … Continue reading Saturday: on a bench

FVR is open for submissions!
To new and regular contributors to Free Verse Revolution, the October submissions window is open!
The theme will be Healing and it can be interpreted in any way you wish; whether that be the healing process – physically and mentally, writing about strength and hope, or what you wish for yourself in the future.
I accept poetry and short pieces of prose which interpret the theme of the month in some way, and only one piece from each writer; but you may send up to three pieces for consideration.
Send your submissions to myscreamingtwenties@gmail.com
October’s theme: Healing
Interpret the theme any way you wish; you do not need to use the word as a title. Pieces may be previously published.
Submission format: poem/short prose should be attached via email as a Word Document or Google Doc. Please refrain from pasting it into the email as this makes formatting…

Several days ago, I promised myself I would write more. Prose in particular. I even began by writing ‘write’ on my to-do list (because I write more to-do lists than poems these days). It remains unchecked. A gloomy, dull circle waiting to be ticked; to be acknowledged by my brain fumbling around its inner recesses … Continue reading To-do lists
