I can glimpse a greener future, through the misty, "purple haze;"
But, "we've only just begun," inside of a fragrant, blossom craze.
"Here comes the sun," to shine on the "strawberry fields forever,"
is what "we'll sing in the sunshine," to laud the green endeavor!
I have "Georgia on my mind." I miss its skies of "rhapsody in blue,"
since our earth now has the "natural blues," in ways it never knew!
"I heard it through the grapevine." Yet, the way back isn't too far;
Earth, "where did our love go," as we were "swinging on a star?"

Sotto Poet September 24, 2026 at 4:03 AM Evelyn, your lovely poem skillfully weaves together song titles and lyrics to craft a narrative about yearning for a harmonious, greener future. It starts with a hopeful vision amidst chaos, represented by the "purple haze." The mention of "we've only just begun" suggests the start of a journey towards environmental consciousness. The imagery of "strawberry fields" and "sunshine" evokes a sense of nostalgia and hope.
