The Collected Poems of Maud Pie

by Titanium Dragon

Metamorphic Rock

Metamorphic rock
Is rock
That is changed
By its environment
Into another type
Of rock.

This is not
Like weathering
It is instead
Compression
Deep under ground
When the rocks
Sleep.

Hot rock
Bends
And changes
But does not melt
Unless it is really hot
Then it is
Igneous rock.

Metamorphic rock
Can be other rocks
Before
But now it is different
Though
Igneous rock
And
Sedimentary rock
Metamorphosed
Still
Are different.

Didn't Pinkie metamorphosisize, in a way?

[AFAIK]

Rocks don't sleep.

This hit me close to home, how things change into something new, something different.

Helped by time, and trapped by it. Never escaping, as mentioned in a previous poem.

This is a very gneiss poem.

...right. I'll see myself out

I'm surprised no one had made the pun anywhere on this collection. But since gneiss is metamorphic... well, I tried to resist the temptation, and failed spectacularly

By the way, Titanium Dragon... small note: unless you actually reply on the same chapter the comment was made in, users don't get notification of replies. I only saw your comment because Batty Boffo commented on it as well, in the actual chapter. It's a rather retarded bug in fimfic

(The only reason you're getting notification of this one, despite mine being in chapter 19 and yours being on the story entry, which makes it end up in the last chapter, is because it's your story, and you get notifications of ALL comments on it anyway)

Oh, and... I always comment on stories. Give the authors some love. Faves are rather meaningless, especially since they merged it with the tracking system, and upvotes are anonymous, so comments are the only solid payoff us authors get

I didn't know about that either. It really is a dumb bug. I hope they fix it some day.

Ohh, I didn't notice that's where that went. They really need to fix a lot of the notifications sometime soon. I hope.

[FashionablyHospitable]

Very true.

[Ninelives]

Hmm..
I didn't connect with this one as much.
