Walk Of Venus Poem by chandra thiagarajan

Walk of Venus

On the 6th of June 2012
We saw the Venus walk
And did verily talk
Of its transition
From its position
From one limb
Of the solar disc
To the other limb!

Ah! A rare alignment
And an extremely rare event!
An infrequent phenomenon!

This occurs
When ‘twixt the Earth and the Sun
Venus enchantingly strides
And as a black spot glides
On the face of the glaring Sun!

Ah! There was a beauty spot
Which the Sun got
On its glowing cheek beauteously
For six hours continuously!

For the next century
In November 2117 it'll show;
As for this century
This is the last such show! t
