Sense Sonnet - Pumper

MESSENGER

I am the MESSENGER spacecraft,
A messaging from Mercury,
With loads of info photographed
Of all the sights that I do see.
Each twelve hours I make the round,
An orbit I have done for years.
Mostly pockmarked craters abound.
An end to my mission now nears.
On Mercury, my point of view
Is of a chunk of rock without
The precious life to be home to.
Mercury is no Earth, no doubt.

Message from Mercury - it's worth
Trying harder for peace on Earth.
