Notes About The Poem

Planet Mars

Planet Mars watches over us like angel at night
With Venus, the star that shines so bright
It’s one of our cosmos’ fascinating sights
A red planet inviting us on its glowing light.

As I gaze its beauty and wonder up afar
I recall its myth, the Roman God of war
Its name came from  God of War, Ares
As it was told in many stories for thousand of years.

Scientists were observing  it since ancient times
Its common features on earth were visible signs
‘Though its air could be poisonous to every human
Once in every 678 days, it orbits around the sun

A space probe was sent to gather more information
‘Til fossils found on rocks in small life form
There could be  life in Mars billion years ago
That’s what they believe;  yet,we don’t know.

Mountains, icecaps and riverbed-like were found
With dust storms  that last for months
But everything in there is still dormant
Oh, Mars will you revive to take us when our earth is gone?

Our mother earth is now getting older
I know, you two are friends, so close to each other
Do you ever know the kismet of your partner?
Or, you two take turns in bearing lives in the universe?
