The dedicated and responsible researchers in the field of bovine poetry are few, but they're closely spaced. Frequently, equine and human works are incorrectly credited as bovine works, and valid bovine poems are dismissed as mere babble. This site contains some of the bovine verse I have been able to uncover in my recent field work. Much of the best bovine poetry follows the human lead of haiku (although most researchers call these works "bovine based haiku like verse", the actual authors prefer the less scholarly term "mooku"). I have chosen to showcase several exemplary pieces of mooku.
