First Day of Spring

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.

 

 

3/20/26 7:15 46F (7.7C) White tufts rip free of the cloud bank to the west and sail across the blue expanse above me.

Doves compete with the other birds in an impromptu This Morning’s Got Talent show while the dogs in the canyon bark loud applause.

I slept late on this first day of spring.

Looking at the daffodils all flowering,  I  wonder how long their blooms will last?

The pussy willow having shed its gray fur weeks ago, is still spreading yellow pollen with  every  puff of breeze.

After breakfast, Walter and I  will go for a walk and look for signs of spring.

Good morning.
