Venus Or Hell
Within our solar system
Is a planet we know well,
I’ve heard it called Earth's sister
But I think it’s more like hell.
The Romans called it Venus
Unique in every way,
Because it rotates in reverse
A year becomes less than a day.
The surface is full of volcanoes
At least one over five miles high,
Yet at night apart from the moon
It’s the brightest thing in the sky.
Hottest of all our planets
With the heaviest atmosphere,
90 times more pressure
Than we experience here.
So beautiful to look at
Shining from above,
I can see why the Romans named it
Venus Goddess of Love.
