Frosted leaves

The Writer, Vernon Wade

Vernon Wade is a poet, author and freelancer. He has been published in The Gorge Literary Journal, Dualsport Rider Magazine, Hack’d Magazine, The Sidecarist, ROB Magazine and The Hood River News.

The world fills him with wonder.  When he looks at the sky he is lifted into flights of fancy, when he stares at the earth he is drawn beneath its surface. He is delighted to find the macrocosm and the microcosm equally mesmerizing.

leaves rimed with frost

Dawn breaks, the color of old lead;

an almost invisible icy mist wafts down.

I hear it rattle the dead leaves

and feel its tentative caress

on my face.
