Ross Greenlee Poet I do not know?

Karma

Three worms were chatting in a tree,
one tells the others his philosophy.
The unknowing two laugh at the speaker,
"do not laugh, I am your teacher."

The two worms call him names and slander his words,
not knowing they just made their death with the birds.
Down swoops the bird who gets one worm, 
the other gets scared and tries to squirm.

"I told you to listen,
but you laughed in my face,
sense you threw back my gift,
you will share the other worms fate."

Colin Amato September 3, 2009 at 10:10 PM YES, okay I know I have posted a comment like on every one of your poems, but this is JUST AMAZING, I will say it again, you are as skillful with words and images as Rumi and Hafiz, do check out their poems. I am not comparing, but the great feeling I get from reading their poems is totally the feeling I am getting from a number of yours.
