He wrote many poems as well as play and two long narrative scripts. Usually he wrote sonnets and it is believed he most enjoyed writing sonnets. He wrote 154 sonnets and called each of them Sonnet 1, Sonnet 2, Sonnet 3 etc. so it's easy to identify his poems. Most poems talk about a "dark lady" who was a secret love of his life. All of his poems relate to a specific topic but mostly about love and life.

Shakespearean sonnets - sonnets by Shakespeare
I am not sure which sonnets you are asking about; many poets wrote sonnets, 14 lines of poetry usually about love (whether losing it, longing for it, or being happy to have it). If you are asking about Shakespeare's sonnets, by most accounts, he wrote 154 of them. Without more information from you, I have no way of knowing which sonnet I should explain.
William Shakespeare is best known for his sonnets. Shakespeare published a total of 154 sonnets. Sonnets contain fourteen lines with a specific rhyme scheme.
No. Spenser and Wordsworth both wrote more.
Most of them, at some time or another.
Shakespeare made no formal dedication of his sonnets. The first publication of Shakespeare's Sonnets in 1609 contained an address by its publisher (evidently Thomas Thorpe) to a "Mr WH". For more on this matter read Who was Mr WH? at the link below.
