Publisher's Synopsis
I have entitled this book of some 300 Sonnets... 'A SHADE OF SHAKESPEARE'. This stems from my admiration for the 'Bard' and his works. If it's said that I have tried to imitate his style then, of course I have. It is soon noticed that, while each sonnet does have three quatrains and an ending couplet, while each line has ten syllables to each, I do not borrow the need of any iambic pentameters. In this light I would call my sonnets 'Contemporary Sonnets.' This work covers the three small books of 100 sonnets in each which are already out there in public domain. I trust that you read and enjoy this book and find it a delicate company during an evening's read. Ron S King.
