Best Planets Poems
Dancing in space
Waltzing in the universe
Pirouetting on cloud banks
Aah yes
Come with me
Let’s dance together
Ancient flute notes echo
Amidst starshine and lost memories
I feel you there beside me
Peeking around planets
Your eyes seeking me out
Our fibers entwined
Through passion and loss
Our unspoken words
Spun like gold thread
Around our bleeding hearts
An inhale ~ a memory
Meeting you in the ocean
Immersing ourselves in blankets of mist and fog
Lavender foam adorned with turquoise sparkles
Glinting off wave tips
My nakedness enveloped
Salty tears
My mouth open
Searching for you
I walk through time
Through walls of water
The waves part
As I find my way
Inward
Onward
To the sacred place within
I feel the air ~ quiet now
My fingertips sense my surroundings
I smell your heartbeat
In darkness my palms touch yours
A vibration of heat
Of laughter
Of knowing
Of ancient memories
Coupling our souls
Forever
To fly like a bird, basically unencumbered
leaving behind the world's joy and pain.
To soar to spaces only birds have been,
and touch the very edge of a violet sky.
To drift on a cloud as it hides a rainbow,
and watch an iridescent raindrop begin.
See storms in their infancy, sung to by thunder,
as flashes of lightning echo brilliant refrain.
To fly low over mountains bathed in lavender;
watch creeks meander lazily by mossy banks.
To gaze at tall forests of evergreen and quaking aspen;
see meadows of wildflowers, fields of spun gold.
To watch night's different shades then choose black satin,
and be awed by dawn's brush of colorful pastels.
To admire many planets and sit among luminous stars.
To find our blue Earth and see how tiny we are.

The sun shines brightly every day
On each colourful autumn morning
Who are we to dispute this simple equation
For what we observe in our daily life
In this cosmic myriad of unfathomable numbers
Of extraterrestrial activity
Like creatures from other planets
Foreign to us in our unique imagination
Or are they less advanced than us
That we perhaps mistakenly observed
That every creature in the known universe
Has their own unique characteristics
So totally different to ours
Planets live their lives, spinning;
Colorful carousels in
Space, never worry about
Death; they’ve too much joy.
Sunrise in the morning fills the heart with glee,
a new day, a new start for you and for me.
Quote - Poet’s own
To Each Devottee
Sun raised her head in a blaze of glory
Rising from behind a picturesque tree
I stood in awe as she rose to her space
To shine down on the world with lustrous grace.
The sky was a sight to glimpse this morning
Bright blue with wispy cloudscape adorning
Sunrise is stunning, as is the sunset
Alluring bequests of which earth is blessed.
Ofttimes I ponder o’er planets mystique
How round the universe asteroids creep
Of the moon and stars that light up the night
Though by morning have disappeared from sight.
Praise to the magnificent creation
Being viewed worldwide from every nation
In different time zones though it may be
It’s God's precious gift to each devotee.

Buoyant ly they dance, orbs of shimmering ice
The gravity is strong deep in space, void of light
But if you never saw them dance, did they ever dance at all?
Yae, they did oh so elegant at the interplanetary ball
‘‘Twas only those two despite the giants all around
Through massive forces pulling
They could not be brought aground
“Just one more tender kiss, my love, before we leave this place
Before we drift apart forever into long forgotten space”
Gravity had pulled them close and briefly there they stood
A kiss they shared, a fond embrace, but neither was prepared
For within that kiss so shortly met
Was pieces of their core
Their gravity and poles aligned, made one forevermore.
Still they dance in perfect time through millennia and age
The stars and all the nebula now
Acting as a stage
The giants, still they lurk
But they still cannot match their gait
So it’s still just the two of them
Staring lovingly at their mate
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?
In the magic kingdom Disney's pen he did draw
A slightly dozy tiger and a bear named winnie the poo
The Lion king and Simba who brought joy to all who saw .
Dumbo and his big ears amazed the world and flew.
and king Louie in the jungle, who wants to be like you.
and a kung fu fighting panda and a dragon warrior to boot.
the only downside is that thanks to you and me, theres only.
Tigers are nearly toast 3,200 left
20,000 lions roaming free
Asian elephant 35,000 not a big number as you can see
Sumatran orangutan 14,600 nice going cousins nearly wiped me out
Panda 1,964 that pretty black and white
If your another species beware the human race.
Plant Earth, full of crystal clear waters
Blue as far as the sky can see
Land masses to hold intriguing life forms
Not knowing of its true power
Maybe its just innocence or ignorance
Greens poke their heads out of the ground to say 'hello'
Your not alone
Look up and you'll see the sun (king)
Hot temperament
The suns been worshipped and feared
A super powerful light source
But don't get to near or it'll burn you for life
The sun was bullied by all the other planets
When it was just a star starting out
Got ostracized for being a nosense
(To big and to damn bright)
None of the other planets wanted it around
Until Earth shook hands and exchanged conversation
Meteorites are just gossips
Flying to each destination on a full tank of gas
Not caring who it hits
Shooting stars are the ballerinas of the universe
They give off a mysterious flare
Make a wish and it'll come true
Just keep that image in your mind
The moon wanted to quit years ago
Felt that it had no purpose
Just a grey boulder that gets in the way
Oh great Jupiter, king of all the planets.
The great gas giant.
A great red spot, a magnificent storm.
You have many moons some large and some small.
The greatest of which are the Galilean moons.
Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.
The flux tube between Io and Jupiter,
A sight to behold.
As electricity jumps from one to the other.
Largest of all objects in our solar system,
Except the Sun, the giver of life.
Brilliant Jupiter many times larger than Earth
And far more mysterious.

Villanelle : Talk not of the birth of planets around distant stars
Talk not of the birth of planets around distant stars
Nor of how déchets comets shunted life to arid earth
What’s our life worth if we live in mangers as bores
Wildly lashing oceans marked the limits of our maws
When travel slithered on foot mountains did us girth
Talk not of the birth of planets around distant stars
How many the astral bodies how shiny the lights of yores
Would clog up the firmament to keep us from eternal truth
What’s our life worth if we live in mangers as bores
Flights of human minds forged in the blasts of quasars
Can in no way enlighten the frigidity of the hearth
Talk not of the birth of planets around distant stars
Even if life down hère could have evolved brazen bizarres
Pluck not excuses from the skies aloof to comfort us in mirth
What’s our life worth if we live in mangers as bores
Much rather stop this brilliant race from owning stars
Than believe in the sacrosanct rule of space by earth
Talk not of the birth of planets around distant stars
Will life be chaste if we stoke more monstrous maws

Without a telescope Galileo Galilei could have not
discovered all of Jupiter's dwarf moons orbiting around it;
don't we breathlessly behold the different colors of lovely Venus?
Mars, Pluto, Moon and Jupiter are unbelievably stupendous!
Amazing is the Milk Way's position in its celestial boundary,
we know that there are other shining galaxies bigger than ours
and they constantly sparkle with a radiance unlike stars;
spot them on a night without fog or clouds: they are groovy!
I have done star-gazing only for spiritual reasons:
the splendor of our enormous universe had a beginning...
before complete darkness covered its deep void so frightening,
but the Creator's grand concept revealed the glorious brightness!
Whoever does not admire this bright spectacle of nocturnal delight,
never believed in the Divine Power that conquers any pure heart!

Jupiter and Venus meld like two canaries
Kissing in late February
In a black gap
Between mountainous sparkling beach hotels
As if
The planets have privacy in their own city alley
Sand in Miami
Warm as peach pie beneath our bare feet
A beach just for us
Bob and Kerri
What cosmic gale
Blew these names to our lunar sails?
The froth from ocean waves
Breaks
Like ghostly surfers of dull light
Riding the brink of non-existence
Swoosh and retreat
At the broken ankles of us
Silhouettes
Hobbling past prints in the mud
Sunny Isle Pier flinging her jeweled harpoon
To the starfish abyss
While we are gone
Our boys drive from Lansing to Denver
Forever-
More
They call from the highway and say they’ve discovered
Dark Side of the Moon
On the Plains in a blizzard of pebbles and stones
Try it, I say, while you watch The Wizard of Oz
Then you’ll understand the coming and going
Of our Universe
And all its tricks of sound and vision
Kerri
Pulls my face to her lips
Whispers, Kiss me
While we have this chance by the sea
Tomorrow
The two of us return home
To the zodiac space of our empty house.
Let's get away and see the night
we'll find a place that has no light.
We shouldn't have to go too far
where we can see a shooting star.
Prairie, forest, mountains high;
any place to see the sky.
Bring a blanket to keep warm,
but don’t go out if there’s a storm.
Plan some time so it will last,
you’ll see some things from distant past.
At first the Milky Way you’ll see;
the clustered edge of our galaxy,
it has two hundred billion suns
connect the dots with brighter ones.
Some are planets, some are not,
some are cool and others hot.
But one thing I can surely say;
they are all very far away!
About a thousand years their light
has traveled to become our night.
