Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN THE TAIHAITIAN PRINCESS
Last Line: AND WROTE NINETY PETRARCHAN SONNETS.
When the Taihaitian princess
Heard that he had decided,
She rushed out into the sunlight and swarmed up a cocoanut palm tree,

But he returned to this island
And wrote ninety Petrarchan sonnets.
