Venus Earth's Neighbor

Venus, Earth’s Evil Twin

While Venus de Milo, the statue, is noted for her charm,

Venus the planet is noted for its harm.

Venus de milo, is a creation of female love;

While Venus the planet; evolved in the sky above.

Both Earth and Venus circle in similar paths

And both planets are together near the sun

But unlike other planets in the system

Venus the planet travels backwards

In the opposite direction; the only one

There are other things about Venus

You might like to know

First, it has the System’s brightest light

Following the Sun and Moon

It’s brighter in the sky than any star.

Its surface has been compared to molten lead

With active volcanoes all over the place

Even if we could stand on it we’d be crushed and dead

More than other planets, Venus is the hotter

And it has not even a touch of water

Finally, the Earth rotates the Sun in 24 hours

Venus takes 10 times as long
