Smit's Splendor: A Sonnet on the Intertwining of Nature and Culture
Amidst the verdant countryside of Smit,
A place of botanical wealth and grandeur,
Where culture and tradition interknit,
And the 'iing-sad' holds royal grandeur.
The Nongkrem Dance, a yearly affair,
Is held in the halls of traditional kings,
Where dancers sway with grace and flair,
Their movements, like the flutter of wings.
But Smit is not just culture and tradition,
It's also home to a natural wonder,
The grandiose chasm, Laitlum, with its fusion
Of grassy plateaus, and a deep asunder.
Trek down to the valley settlements below,
Or stand on the edge, and watch the water flow,
And let the natural beauty of Smit,
Envelop your senses, and leave you in wit.
