The Sonnets

This is another in my series of sonnet collections in my attempt to understand and convey the breadth, scope and mastery of William Shakespeare's own sonnet collection. I have translated and analyzed Shakespeare's sonnet collection but believe that my own sonnet series will add a dimension of understanding that only comes from actually employing this art form. You will note that my sonnet collection totals one hundred fifty four (154) sonnets, the exact number of his collection; that is, for each of his, I have written one of my own. I have undertaken this work with humility and the aspect of a student who intends to learn from the master but who, also, wishes that he has learned his lessons well enough that this own work can also provide some entertainment, educational and inspirational value to the reader, as well.
