Top Ten Books of 2019

January 1, 2020December 28, 2019Leave a comment

Last year was about making time to read and by the end of 2018 I had read 43 books. For me, it was a success. It also lit a fire in my belly - I wanted to read more. This year, via GoodReads, I set myself a target of reading 50 books. I read 100. … Continue reading Top Ten Books of 2019

[BEST OF 2019] Discontinued

December 31, 2019December 21, 20195 Comments

The old me is no longer on the shelves because let’s be honest, she never existed. This is me now and this is me then; foolhardy and faerie, clumsy and pretty angry at the world and everyone in it, loved and unloved but always in love. I will bloom and I will wilt alongside the … Continue reading [BEST OF 2019] Discontinued

[BEST OF 2019] Something good

December 30, 2019December 21, 2019Leave a comment

It was 5.20am and she had wondered if this would be the one good thing they could make last, as the world turned and the ground slipped quietly beneath them, and for once, she had been right; love had not bloomed but had sent roots deep into the earth to hold on tight.   Poem: © … Continue reading [BEST OF 2019] Something good

[BEST OF 2019] Mother Nature’s lips

December 29, 2019December 21, 20192 Comments

The rose fell from the bush and tumbled into the grass, to wither and die like all the rest who grew too weak to remain, heads lifted up to the sun. Until it saw you, and you it; collected it, tucked it safely into the centre of your palm, found a bowl to lay it … Continue reading [BEST OF 2019] Mother Nature’s lips

[BEST OF 2019] Forgiveness

December 28, 2019December 21, 20194 Comments

I would like to forgive my body if only I knew how. Perhaps I should write a list of everything I dislike and light it with a match; watch it smoulder with eager eyes and a glass of wine. Or I should write a list of my favourite parts and scrawl them across every mirror. … Continue reading [BEST OF 2019] Forgiveness

[BEST OF 2019] Hovering

December 27, 2019December 21, 2019Leave a comment

Sometimes I imagine you here, hovering like wreathed mist, or a cold breath against the sky, and I imagine you are happy: for me, for you, for us and the people we have become without one another, the lovers we have made for others who will always love us far better than we ever loved … Continue reading [BEST OF 2019] Hovering

[BEST OF 2019] Chimney Grass

December 26, 2019December 21, 20192 Comments

I like listening to the rain and watching the warm street lamp glow melt into the window frame. Sometimes I hear footsteps too, the distant rumble of traffic and the echoes of birds. I can see the chimney of my neighbour’s house and I can see a magpie or pigeon (they visit most frequently) has … Continue reading [BEST OF 2019] Chimney Grass

[BEST OF 2019] The girl at the silent disco

December 25, 2019December 21, 20192 Comments

I want to say thank you to the girl at the silent disco who reminded me of both femininity and humanity; what is means to be fragile and fierce, to be kind and ferocious.   A club lit up in colour, a mind full of anxiety glitter and you. The girl at the silent disco … Continue reading [BEST OF 2019] The girl at the silent disco

[BEST OF 2019] Banshee

December 24, 2019December 21, 20191 Comment

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 Signed copies on Etsy

[BEST OF 2019] Dancing alone

December 23, 2019December 21, 20192 Comments

Leaving you taught me the beauty of three things: tucking yourself in at night cooking for one and dancing alone.   Poem: © Kristiana Reed 2019 Between the Trees UK Between the Trees US Signed copies on Etsy
