Vermont Poet Daniel Lusk, who's new collection is Every Slow Thing (Kelsay Books).

This week’s Write the Book Prompt is to consider what Daniel calls his “farthings,” tiny Zen-like poems that share wit, irony, natural beauty, and wisdom. Here are a few of his, kindly shared with us:

Sepals - As if priests were magpies and souls were shiny objects. As if brothels were little seminaries of corporeal art.

After the Storm - And Noah sent forth birds, voiceless gestures over the fathomless silence in search of something that might be said.

Lyric - Listen! There is saffron on the poet's bow.

So those are a few of Daniel Lusk's "Farthings." The new collection Farthings is published by Yavanika Press. See if you can come up with some of your own.

Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
