This poem makes fun of the poetry, common at the time, in which a man praised his beloved by comparing her body parts to various fantastic images: her hair was spun gold, her eyes like stars, her lips as red as coral, her breasts like globes and so on. Shakespeare turns all this on its head by denying all of the fantastic images.

What does shakespeare mean in his sonnet when he says my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun?
All the other guys were writing sonnets saying, "My mistress's eyes are like the sun, her hair like fire, her lips like cherries, her cheeks like the petals of roses." Shakespeare says, "Ever hear the word 'cliché'? Rather than use these old, stale, tired metaphors, Shakespeare renounces them and says, "My mistress's eyes are like eyes actually, not the sun." She is a real woman, which means that she is not perfect or superhumanly beautiful, but, says Shakespeare, "I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare."--she is more beautiful than any other real woman (who has probably been told she has eyes like the sun).
