All the sonnets have the correct pentameter, fourteen lines, and vulta near the end establishing them as legitimate classical sonnets. I was always fascinated by sonnets from my high school English classes, through my university courses and later as an integral component of my romantic repertoire. I really only remembered \"Shall I compare thee to a summer day.\" That is said to be one of the greatest sonnets written, yet I found it lacking in real feeling, as I did with most of his sonnets. Spenser and Dunn provide better images in my mind. Oh, to be sure Shakespeare wrote some wonderful lines, but not necessarily in his sonnets. \"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet,\" is one phrase everyone remembers and to which they can relate, but it is not included in his sonnets. Rather, it is in one of his tragedies, Romeo and Juliet. Besides it has two counts too long for the pentameter structured poem for which he is known. Love Sonnets constitute the majority of the poems, 61 of them to be precise. Added to those are 10 Flower Sonnets with four of the Bluebonnet Sonnets from my Texas Hill Country observations. 18 more are what I call General Sonnets, since they tend to be about other interesting subjects like \"Between Equinoxes.\" I juxtapose Shakespeare's \"Dark Lady\" with my \"Lady of Light.\" Ten more poems are related to Shakespeare's life, times, loves, and rivals. The other ten are a mixture of forms and extra sonnets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45568888111255,"sku":"9798680714393","price":1210.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798680714393.webp?v=1767935454","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sonnets-from-the-mellow-breeze-great-new-american-love-and-romance-sonnets-9798680714393","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
