Ivf 1

IVF Times without number That’s as far as one could remember Or better still conjecture At this end of this ocean we stood, at the edge Aghast at the tardiness of virility Invisible except for its vivid physiognomy That swirled and rolled and spent itself In a recurring recuperation of empathy Till rains agoraphobic arrived As a successful ‘in vitro’ in the glass sky A sodden blast of breeze scattering a mound of leaves Breathing into the fertile insides Slick in fermentation Sticking to sticky bloodied life. 9 Mar 13 S.Jagathsimhan Nair Entry for Rick Parise's contest For PD's 'Freeverse contest' now on 13 mar 13

Say Jag, I never knew virility was tardy! I think you are leading me astray - just kidding but I enjoyed your poem, that touch of mystery kept me wanting more. Luv, Elizabeth

M55 good jaganath keep writing you are my another friend from oriyysa.read my poems prabhakar mishra is my another friend.now read my poem SOUL Fly in the sky. I have no boundary reaches to high. I see and feel that alone Willfully reaches to places of unknown. Above the earth there is no struggle. It would be wisdom to keep alone. I shall fly in that blue sky for ever. After death soul will be remain there. I am a bird without wing but mind. It is true that I have no wing. But mind will fly and will be left behind. Family will remember for loss of a member. No escapes where everybody will go there. Youth passed speedily when enough strength of blood. But now at old age, blood is cold. Saroj khan[sakha] Fly

this is the one that so impressed me in the challenge, as I noted at the time: "great use of language, alliteration and word play, written by a deep thinker..." :)
