My Mistress's Eyes

Surprisingly, I actually liked this one! Ok I'll correct that, as far as poetry goes, I liked this one. However the reason I liked this poem is a bit ironic. I liked it because it makes fun of poetry. Not just any poetry though, all those horrible cheesy love poems that for some reason, some girls like. He really starts out saying, look, your not the best thing in the world. In fact your relatively normal. But that's not a bad thing since he still loves her extraordinarily. Basically it's kind of a shocking start to the poem that makes you say wait why is he saying this? But if you read further you realize his point and it gets you thinking a little. Nevertheless it definitely moved Shakespeare up in my book.
