The picture and background are really effective - they suit the theme. The imagery is strong with a spark of humor. I thoroughly enjoyed this dark sonnet.

Thanks, Dolly. That exceeds the pentameter.

It exceeds the syllable count because you have used a feminine ending here. That means you have ended on an unstressed syllable.
