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.

The first day of October dawns with a whisper of a breeze.
A thin net of white clouds cannot conceal the placid blue sky overhead.
Smoke drifts from the top of the lodge.
The foliage has begun to turn. Patches of yellow dapple the maples, willow, and birch. Here and there clusters of tan appear across the dark green oaks. Fallen leaves are scattered across the ground.
The gentle murmurs and chirps of birds surround me.
Good morning.
