Well done with this sonnet about the cost the ferryman charges. The ferryman stories intrigue me and you've written this well, Marilyn. Great chapter, cheers

This is a well crafted Sonnet Marilyn with great rhyme and meter.The imagery is a little frightening but appropriate for the subject. :)
Great job.

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Damn! Girl..... a very creepy sonnet. I like the Reaper, the Styx gerrymandering, the sandman.....etc they are scary characters but intriguing and Mystical.
I like all the death and dead people metaphors... I never heard the parts of the boat were human remains... awesome. I thought of Ed Gein, a serial killer body snatcher. He had many pieces of furniture made of human remains... bones, skin, etc he was committed to a mental heath facility for the criminally insane.
Well done!

I don't know what the boat was made of. I made it up. Lol I remember Ed. He lived in the own next to mine when I was a kid. Thanks for the great review and the special stars.
Comment from teafor2
Marilyn, at first I thought, a harmless title for pilot of a small river boat... Then the Gothic picture dispelled any notion of a simple operator of a normal water craft...A transport of the dead theme, radical changes the
tone to one of morbidity...Conveyance of these corpses from one side of the shore to the other is a sober and sombre undertaking...Prompt pay is
paramount with no excuses tolerated...Any delay for any reason except by the ferryman wouldn't be pleasant...Poetical narrative is well conceived and presented in a highfalutin formal format, making it all the more grotesquely enticing. teafor2

Thank you Brenda. Appreciate you reviewing my book for the contest

Okay! This is a creepy story, and you put it in a sonnet. How imaginative. The picture is equally creepy. Together, they are perfect for your Curses, Hearses and Deadly Verses book. Combined, they give the reader chills. But you're only just beginning.

Wow, you've painted a picture with this poem that I may struggle for days to erase from the thoughts. I know we all have different sides, but few do such a drastic flips as yours. I just wish I had a six for this one. Thanks for sharing.
