Mercury

Your closer than all the others
To our Galaxy's light
We look for you in the night time
But don't find you bright

The sun stays in your skies
as if it's always noon
And you reflect the sun
Like the earth's moon

Small though you are
with no atmosphere
You are a messenger of the Gods
So speak your message loud and clear.

Venus

Clockwise you rotate
your the only one
The home of love and beauty
Second planet to the sun

Your day, though hard to believe
is longer than your year
Called the sister planet because your
size and the Earths are very near

No moons, No oceans
But plenty of volcanoes to go around
And like the depths of our oceans
Is the pressure on your ground

Yes, those two are "poems" in the broadest definition of poetry - at least in the way they are both set out. But there's not much poetry in either poem. They read like the casual scribblings of some atronomer. At best they describe the physical features of Venus and Mercury. Not much better than a list of facts.

A poet would be intrigued by the IDEA of Venus or the idea of Mercury. Where do they fit in our hearts? In our history. To what purposes has Venus been put by humanity? If we called them "Hermes" and "Aphrodite", essentially the same gods as M&V, what emotions would they then convey

I found these on the web...hope you like.

Mercury is Planet Number One
the leader in position and in pace.
Lifeless, cratered, seared by the Sun
a world where time appears to lose its place:
Mercurial sunrise starts the standard way.
The fireball seems to grow as it climbs high,
then gives a drunken lurch and goes astray
and turns a slothful back-flip in the sky.
What makes this solar gymnast turn its tricks?
and why would wide-spaced watchers disagree
about the movements that the Sun depicts?
Rotation and the orbit hold the key.
Like Einstein, read the Messenger's message clear -
what's seen depends how there relates to here.

Venus I am Venus, fifth planet above
The world, and am the light of Love.
I'm moist and cold, and in my hour
Men feel my great and awesome power.
Two houses are mine, in which I fare,
The Bull and Scales, and when I'm there
I live in joy and jollity,
And Mars can never frighten me.
In the cold, wet Fishes I'm glad to rise,
In the Virgin's sign my power dies.
In just one year and then one day
Through the signs I gently play.
