————————————-

I skipped ahead a little on my challenge to knock out [b:Sonnets|32514|Sonnets|William Shakespeare|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1407276354l/32514._SY75_.jpg|1118349].

I made note during reading of approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of these that I particularly enjoyed or found interesting. There are obviously a lot of love poems here, but there are also themes of beauty, time, life/death, and aging/growing old.

My main takeaway is that I’ve now read and experienced Shakespeare’s Sonnets. I never thought I’d read this much poetry in my life, but these weren’t too bad.
