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.
