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.

Overcast with no wind.
It’s not as foggy as yesterday, but haze shrouds the more distant tree line, probably a mixture of mist and smoke from woodstoves.
I tried to start a fire in the tipi. It made me promises it did not keep.
A squirrel whistles.
Birds squawk and cheep, coming and going.
Frogs belch from the pond across the fence.
Beyond that, hidden in the weeds, I hear quail conversing.
My tea will be too cool if I let it wait any longer.
Good morning.
