Tony, that was brilliant! I wish I could give you a six, I love it. What a delightful play on words, a winner certainly in my book! The title you found in Hamlet, is perfect. Very well done, my friend, and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Hitcher
I seriously can not understand why anyone would voluntarily choose to not taste, touch, feel, the emotional connection, release, pleasure of being with another person. BUT each to their own : ) Good luck !!

This is an excellent 5-7-5, my friend. I like the combination of chase/unchastened, and chaste. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

That's quite a story told in just a 5-7-5 poem, Tony! But to go to a nunnery seems quite extreme unless she felt she had a calling. Good use of alliteration and various forms of -chas- words! Best wishes in the contest!

Thank you, Kahpot. I appreciate your review.
Comment from Susan X Smith
Is this about Ophelia? Interesting concept for a short short entry for the contest. When I first saw the picture I thought it was the Virgin Mary, but maybe it is a nun.

Thanks, Susan. No, it's not about Ophelia. Just a bit of homophonic nonsense. The accompanying image on Wikimedia was titled Medieval_Nun_or_Woman_in_Religious_Clothing
Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is lovely and fun and it tells a story, all in a 5-7-5 style poem. What a joy to read such clever usage of the words, "chased" and "chaste". It is humorous in a gentle way, yet speaks in reverence of a woman's choices in life. She sounds like she has her wits about her, and knows where she stands in this world, and within herself. This is a pleasure to read and review. I hope you get many views and reviews. This is a great 5-7-5 poem. Well written with a worthy message.
Take care, Jesse

Haha this is sure a real laugh. Reminded me of a joke a friend share awhile ago. Will share later.Still wants a lot more. Could have added the joke I guess. Along the same lines as this.

Thanks, Geoffrey. I don't usually go in for these contests. Glad this gave you a laugh. I appreciate the sixth star. Most generous. That's better than a star for every three words! LOL

Will share that joke with ya later.

"Go thee to a nunnery, go." is short, succinct and very much to the point. With a minimum of words, this talented poet has told it as it is. This is definitely a six. I look forward to seeing your next post

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A clever play on words here Tony, I have never understood why women join a nunnery as we can all pray and be close to God and still lead fulfilling lives, a fine 5-7-5, love Dolly x

It does seem to be a cop out on living.
Enforced celibacy has led otherwise good people to commit heinous crimes. My view, anyway.
