The Collected Poems of Maud Pie

by Titanium Dragon


Granite

Granite
You are an igneous rock
Made when magma pushes up to the surface
But not like a volcano
But through the cracks in other rocks.
You are usually very old
Because you form underground.

You are feldspar and quartz and mica
And can be many colors.
Sometimes you are gray
And sometimes you are orange
And sometimes you are black
And sometimes you are all of those.

You are very strong
And solid
Without you, the land would fall apart
But because of you
We have land
And can see rocks on land.

Thank you granite.
