The Collected Poems of Maud Pie

by Titanium Dragon

Soil (Experimental Poem)

Soil
Once you were rock
But rain and plants have made you not.
Now you are soil
Sleeping on the bedrock
The regolith supports all life
Which is good.

Author's Note:

I don't know why I wrote this poem. My heart was not in it. I will make sure to stick to rocks from now on.

This one is my favorite. That Author's Note... TD, you're the best.

Holy shit! I did not know soil was made of rocks.

Rocks that have died, decayed and turned to something new.

More experiments should be made, Maude- err, TD. There is constant life from the death of a rock, and more life from the death of the soil... a cycle, eternal.

Wait... rock>soil>mud
Mud=Maud?
Maud=rock?

[Whiteeyes]

Apparently the author went through an experimental stage. Thankfully it was short lived and she returned to her stronger subject matter. Which is rocks.

I like Soil

[MLPTMNTLPS-Moving]

These are actually GOOD poems but you could work more on your endings and maybe add images to your poems and make them ryrhme better but this is still awesome though and I kinda like the Soil poem!

[Nyerguds]

These are actually a lot more fun than I expected. I thought the point of Maud's poems was that they were horribly boring?

[FashionablyHospitable]

The author explores themes of death and life in this work, considered by critics to be one of the most emotionally wrought existential poems of all time.

[dogface]

I have a whole new perspective on soil.

[The Moon Champion]

Yamgoth, I have conducted the experiments you suggested and have come to a profound conclusion.

MAUD IS A ROCK

I believe a maud is actually the thing on her back. They probably used the name to play with the words a bit.
