Studying the form. And your words. Wanting something so much only to smother it then lose it. That's what I'm getting. Anything goes in a Cinquain, just stick to the form?

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes, just a play on words matching nature with a relationship.

there are win win situations and then lose lose ones.
Pride usually causes the latter.

It took a couple of changes to reflect a human emotion to nature. I wanted to do it without the direct connection but I think it works alright.

Too much pride is not good for you. It is the road to ruin for many

[Cherrie Palmer]
