Studies have been done
greenery and green space positively affects
the brain sitting in a natural environment
water nearby even looking at pictures
natural elements have a positive effect on wellbeing
What if writing conservation poetry
focused on the beauty of green spaces
all the colors of a rainbow
the grey of a small squirrel
red of a robin or blue jay
could clear our minds
with vitamin G
Research demonstrates mere exposure
views of nature improve people's health
well-being provided by restoration from stress
and mental fatigue
depression goes down
when time in green space goes up
What if
poetry could create green space
out of clear air
a glass of pure water and imagination
