This haiku quintet explores the relationship between nature and humans.

Pastoral
Spring arrives on queue
Verdant colours warm the soul –
Wonders of nature

Pictures
Turner et al paint
Landscapes of life are then housed –
Framed for reflection

Impact
Then human advance
Nature abused through the ages –
How is this progress?

Downhill
Sustenance lessens
So life withers on the vine –
Mankind declining

Ending
Far away planet
First signs of life have begun –
We wasted our chance
