This is a very interesting subject for a contest entry. That being said it's a very well written poem and should show extremely well. I wish you the very best luck.

Well done and good luck to you with the contest.

A lovely offering, Tony, that extols the decision of some to devote both heart and physical being to the service of their God -- your use of alliteration in every line of your original offering is very well-done and subtle enough to do an effective job of 'smoothing the reception' rather than jumping out and saying "look! I used alliteration! yay me!".... lol! The subtlety makes it real!! ;) :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck in the contest! ;) Yvette

I had no idea where you were going to go with this one, Tony. Good play with words. I just hope she made the right decision. Nothing wrong with being chased when the right man comes along. Just saying, haha. Hugs, Lou

Hi Tony
Nice wordplay, at least she's not eating pickled peppers
with mountain preppers, with the butcher, the baker , and the candle stick maker in a three piece green suit.
What can I say? Hamlet got me in the nursery. :-))Z.

I would think that life would be a difficult choice - yet I know some are drawn to be celebate and dedicated simply to prayer and good works. A good poem.
