The Sea
I look at the sea,
feeling it within my veins.
What percentage of me
is ocean, trapped inland
by flesh –
a landscape that can
foster life and
begin creation?

Ellie Rose McKee's micropoetry
Ellie has been writing poetry and short stories since primary school and been blogging for ten-plus years. In 2016, she started a Micropoetry Project in which she wrote at least one poem a day for several months. The resulting collection, titled 'Each Poem a Thought', is out soon.
New Shadow
I have a second shadow, now
one with fur –
four legs
and a tail.
She follows me everywhere,
bringing Light.

As it was…
As it was with warriors of old –
slaughtering wild beasts
for their wives & children,
to sustain them
& prove themselves –
so it is with you;
carrying the corpses of spiders
on the soles of your feet,
in sacrifice to me
& my phobia.
