Short Sedimentary Poems

Sedimentary and metamorphic rock
From earths mantle or crust
Host of tungsten granites and diorites

Intrusive extrusive and hypabyssal
Of batholths sills and dikes
Eruptions of subaerial volcanoes

Continental crust 
A pacific ring of fire
4030 million years old...

Beast retrieved
who vowed never
 strive...
Couldn't abide by words
gambled floods 
Livid lethal lava 
parched essence dwells
furnace no sedimentary
tar loiters. 

Optimistically optimises 
For future further
Luminous loop of life 
Clear inscribed circle 
Promises which to amend-

Petrology, geology, call it what you may
Minerals of many are around us every day
Igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic are the main

Some are even Volcanic-
explosions are quite manic.

Its just like Me and You!
Special, Unique and some blue.
Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic too-
I've heard that before, like de-ja vu!

It is Sharp or Smooth,
It is like a Bone,
It can be found in a Booth,
But what really is STONE?
