Astronomy, architecture, blood sacrifice. Ancient Mayan civilization is something that I’ve held in particular fascination ever since I visited Chichen Itza, one of the seven wonders of the world.

The First Stanza Frost uses a rhyming pattern of ABCB, along with an intense imagery-based style in order to portray to the reader that it is Autumn. Some of the word choices in the poem allow us to decipher the time of year at which this walk is taken.
