My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun: Sonnet 130

How does Shakespeare’s understanding of the Sonnet help him get his message across in “My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun”

The Sonnet is very poetic and has only 14 lines 3 quatrains and one couple that rhymes to finish it off, this technique is used by Shakespeare to describe his Mistress/Wife/Girlfriend who he says has a few flaws among herself, even though she looks and seems a bit dull and boring, his love for her is undying, no matter what she looks like or how she acts. He loves her the same as he always has done.
