MY WEEK, poem from the Work In Progress

Before hate. In spite of war.
A few years back I was fortunate to visit the Yucatan, now referred to as the Mayan Riviera. An anthropology buff, I was thrilled to tour the ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza . It was Christmas and I was astonished by the degree of Maryolotry, the inspiration for this poem from my collection "Three Blocks West of Wonderland."

The 8th Blog of Christmas-How Mrs. Claus Got Her Groove Back by Laurie Boris
