Get thee to a nunnery, go.
Chased, yet chaste50 total reviews
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
Many men gave chase.
She chose to be unchastened.
Now a nun - still chaste.
A smile, of course, and I have to say this is a wonderfully thought up word play for the contest. Perfectly done and a high scorer if I were a judge

This meets the contest requirements beautifully as you deliver a technically sound 5-7-5 with correct line and syllable count throughout. The content is cleverly executed with subtle word play. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Comment from Barbaraj1
This is a great and funny poem. I ask myself if so many men were
chasing her why did she choose to become a nun. Your rhyming is
good and syllable count correct.

Funny, but a religious type poem you 'created.' Do like your author's literary note
Your selected artwork enhances the few words you shared with us.
Best wishes for your contest entry.

Comment from Sanku
This reminds me of a nun who was my poetry teacher .She was stunningly beautiful and we girls used to whisper and make up stories about why a beautiful girl would want to become a nun....why she chose to be unchastened is a mystery!...
Thanks for posting.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem of the young girl who was chased by many men until she decided to become a nun and ensure to remain unchstened.

Comment from Therese Caron
This is a great little poem. You've conquered the challenge of trying to get a point across with very few syllables, which I love working on but always find difficult. I enjoy the challenge. The poem is both realistic and a little funny at the same time. Quite a feat to accomplish! I always love your writing.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice to see a poem, Tony.
-Nice artwork and presentation.
-The syllable count is good,
and you have described the
idea behind the quote well.
-Hamlet could have used this!
-I get the distinct impression
that although she was pursued
by many, she was not tempted,
and thus, remains chaste.
-Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for reviewing this bit of nonsense, Pam! Punning paradise!

You are welcome, Tony. It was fun and I think you are on to something with "punning paradise!"
Comment from Pantygynt
When I saw the title in the list I thought, Helen or Kayla, surely not? And I was right of course. It was neither. It seems I must be content with this play on words and be patient for the next chapter chasing round the Hindu Kush

The next instalment is still in my head. I?ve been watching the Aus v Pakistan Test Match for the past three days.
