Andrea Dietrich Poet Haiku

Cow Pie

There's a cow pie in the yard.
So what do you think?
Is it bull?

(Cow pie is American slang for cow dung & "bull" is the
abbreviated form of a vulgar word meaning something foolish
or useless. Anyway, it's a play on words that I hope translates
ok for the non native English speakers here)

For Dr. Ram Mehta's Contest on Quinzaine Poems
and now for PD's "any poem under 5 lines #1" - Poetry Contest

Dr.Ram Mehta July 15, 2011 at 2:43 PM Thanks for the note below as it was beyond my comprehension the word Cow Pie hahahah, Congrats, Andrea

Jack Horne July 14, 2011 at 2:53 PM LOL, no, I didn't know the meaning of cow pie! Over here, there's a popular comic book cowboy character called Desperate Dan and he eats cow pie (but it's a huge pastry dish, complete with horns!) I understood bull - we say bullshit. So I grew up on a cowboy eating dung...

Linda-Marie Sweetheart July 14, 2011 at 5:46 AM super cool and clever piece Andrea.. luv that reference of cow pie ..when it really means something else..haha.. good luck in the contest with this original and unique piece luv.. and Ron really cooks all that sausage stuff more than me.. my men luv eating meat all the time..oh.. me..veggies.. .ah..

Robert A. Dufresne July 14, 2011 at 2:58 AM inspirations can come from anywhere and this is proof and that's no bull. Great poem for the 753 contest. I think it is already turning out to be very interesting and as with your post entertaining as well! looks like a winner to me ( but of course I was raised on a farm) : )
