Chorion -- McTaggart's Challenge

Daniel McTaggart's challenge is to poetize a random word from the dictionary. My finger fell on a strange word, "Chorion." Chorion – (kor e ON) the outer membrane enclosing the embryo of reptiles, birds and mammals.
Chorion Picked at my red-veined sky, ‘Til passageway did pry, Portalized with a pipping stone, Escaped confines of chorion. Light sluiced into lucid view, I drew a sip, to warmth imbue, Saw my chorion dome replaced With a new blue, chrome laced. I emerged on an azure egg, And my journey began first leg, My eyes on the prize, tease afar, Portalize chorion and seize a star. The Astronaut

Well done, my friend! Always nice to see a friendly answer to a friendly challenge. Nice going. I especially like the line about how light sluiced. Giving light a liquid quality was a superb touch. Once again, outstanding!

Great response to the challenge! I use a similiar approach. I pick up to six words randomly while quickly browsing through a book. Then I figure out a poem to go with the words.
