I appreciated your salute to Shakespeare with your clever title and your creative wordplay, plus echoing sounds in this 5-7-5. Best wishes in the contest and happy Holly days- Joan

Hi Tony. Congratulations for placing in the contest. Being a Catholic, we see that the traditional nun has gone by the wayside. I'm happy for them to be more in the mainstream nowadays. Marilyn

Comment from CD Richards
It seems you post so little poetry these days, with your focus being on your novel, so it irks me when somehow I miss it. Not sure why I didn't see a notification for this one. In any case, a belated review is better than none, I guess, and gives me the opportunity to congratulate you on a well-deserved placing in the contest.
A most humorous offering, which can't help but raise a smile. I'm tempting to say in terms of puniness, there is nun better.
Nice job, Tony.

Thanks for your gracious response to my puny punning, Craig. I'm hoping to get the first draft of the novel finished by the New Year, leaving more tie for poetry next year. I hope you have a good Christmas, and that you've not been suffering too much in the recent hot weather. All good wishes, Tony

Hello Tfawcus,
Nice piece of Humor Poetry meeting the desired norms, and beautifully depicting its theme.
Impressive, and matching the theme phraseology.
Smooth and captivating flow.
"...chase...unchastened...chaste."
Marvelous!
Best of Luck!!
[ Undoubtedly, it deserves to be honored with SIX STARS.]

This perfect senryu 5/7/5 syllables counted structural format is well interwined throughout its religious narrative storylined content, too.
Well done!

Comment from humpwhistle
Nice play on words, Tony. I expect a few readers might have mis-defined 'unchastened'--taking it to mean the opposite.
As for the last line, I think 'chaste' and 'chased' might be equally appropriate.
Best of luck.
Peace, Lee

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Tony, very clever with good use of homophone to get your message across. What I don't understand is, men fancied this woman, she would have liked to be 'unchastened' but ended up a chaste nun. Poor woman or silly - whichever. LOL! - good luck, regards Dorothy

I like how you are playing with words about a girl desires to be virgin like Mary the blessed desires not to feel any gulit not being pure, and stop men chasing her, become a nun.

You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this really clever
piece about a girl, now lady, determined to keep her virginity. Good triple word play. :-)
