Poem Title:
Poem
Vast and giant objects cast onto a canvas of black, amidst them sprinkled dust and ash reminiscent of a fiery past. Gas and energy burning, light, a sight fit for man and gods alike. In this particular family dwell, eight celestial bodies to tell. Each unique, this Milky Way, does man and life alike partake. So let us, a trip, embark upon, through stars, and heavens, and things beyond. In line before all does Mercury fall, composed of iron covered in mantle and crust, this ball. Romans of old saw it move swiftly, and named it for him with wings on his feet. Sometimes called sister by our dear earth, the unforgiving atmosphere blisters and burns. Venus, thy name though fair, could not sustain life with poison for air. Earth, man's Eden, of blue and green, in it's protection we live and breathe. Four seasons rich, I will only ask this, please take care of this wonderful gift. Of all the planets, this one's reputation, captured hearts, and sparked imaginations. -Though alien beings might escape us thus far, no soul will deny, there's life there on Mars. The giant of gas with a red eyed storm, could hold every planet within it's large form. Jupiter, on its axis, so fast, less then 10 hours a d ay there would last. Saturn, the name has quite a ring, and a density that won't allow it to sink. Rock and ice particles comprise its belt, for a spec in our galaxy, it sure stands out well. Uranus it seems you are always relaxing, you lean on your side with a tilt of your axis. Named for the god of the sky by the Greeks, you even have rings, my aren't you unique! The one body predicted before being discovered, is Neptune, behold, it's name fits its color. The winds howl at speeds much uncanny, distant, unassisted, your existence, man can't see. Thus ends our 8 planets, unfolded of late, now what else can you find in our Milky Way?
