Here, from Robert's oeuvre, are a selection of poems that either directly or indirectly find their impetus in one or more of The Bard's plays or sonnets. Robert said, "Rather than take myself seriously, and have someone assume I am comparing myself with The Bard, I thought I would have fun with the title." "I am not a Shakespeare expert," he said, "only a fan and longstanding friend of his work. Thus the title: Billy Shakespeare Is A Friend of Mine These poems employ words and lines from Shakespeare to help punctuate and illustrate modern times, thoughts & questions. Others examine such plays as Julius Caesar and look for the character connections below the surface. If you like Shakespeare... you will find something here to like!"
