Good Morning

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.

Clear blue sky with a few white clouds in the south. No wind, light dew. The sun has not yet topped the ridge.

I can feel the season changing. Sunrise is slower, the air is colder with a crisp edge to it.

After getting up early to go fishing, I was short of sleep. I made up for that by sleeping in this morning. I hope to find mushrooms today to go with the salmon I caught yesterday.

I am drinking bohea tea, strong and dark. The earthy, smokey flavor seems appropriate for the very tail end of summer.

Good morning.
