The Utopia Untrodden

Have seen an utopian lane, amidst the thicket, latent In the abode of the clouds, in the lap of the tranquil wilderness, far far away from the mundane mist! A wheezing sparsely inhabited hamlet, Khonoma, a centuries- old settlement, so green, so serene! Its' pristine unsullied views, lush wilderness, verdant bushes, aromatic wild blooms, resplendent orchids, rippling rills, are untouched and sacred! The Angami tribes, the thorpes' dwellers lead an uncustomary simple life, crammed with ancient, timeless traditions and practices, with nature's absolute accord! The unique panaromic cultivation practice, terrace farming, sprawling on the slopes makes the very sight elating! Look, the remote richest biodiversity region is twirling with the endemic scented native flora and fauna, the boscage are cramming with untamed wild colourful fruits! The revered cultural bird, the grey-billed Tragpon, is intoning from the bushes, making the milieu frolic! Myriads of colourful birds are migrating to nestle in the sacred bushes of the mystic rills! The pellucid drops from the misty mesas of nearby cascades are playing with the colourful pebbles! Far from the pandemic, the cherubic hilly terrain is bustling with cerulean rills, shrouded by tropical rain forests and stepped paddy fields! How finite are the rustic folks' wants and needs, the primitive shanties to dwell, the crystal cascades to quench, the crops of the golden fields to feed the mouths, the vibrant fiestas with nature's changing seasons to celebrate! A paragon of men and nature in absolute harmony, is lying placidly, the transcendental picturesque tableland, Khonoma, the wheezing green hamlet, an utopia untrodden to bless the naive natives of the far flung highland!
" Sometimes in quest of no man's Utopia, we may miss the existing unleashed Utopia in proximity, yet untrodden " Quote by poet November 11th 2021 Contest: " U" contest, New Poems Only Sponsored by: Constane La France

SILPIKA, I lack the words with which to properly praise this. By every measure that matters, it is magnificent--word usage, flow, imagery, message/meaning. I am amazed at your poetic brillance, and grateful for your willingness to share it. Hugs, Paul

Utopias untrodden are blessed. They ought to have signs saying, 'No Human Trespassers! All Others Welcome.' Magnificent write, Silpika! :) gw

Your quote holds truth. Dorothy, Wizard of Oz: “If you can't find what you're looking for in your own backyard, maybe you never really lost it at all.“ //Your poem filled with delightful things: the grey-billed Tragpon, is intoning from the bushes, making the milieu frolic!//God bless!

Indeed! We are ignoring whatever we are blessed with, when I visited, I felt, though the tribe is known for the gracious hospitality, but the area was entirely untrodden, though it was once declared as India's first green village. Nonetheless, sometimes remoteness is a boon, because it's pristine beauty is intact! God bless the sacred lush region and the inhabitants! Ample thanks and regards for the blessing, reading and the exquisite mention of the grey billed Tragpon, the endemic native cultural bird! Always a joy to hear from you! Hugs Silpika
