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.

 

10/8/25 7:00 40F (4.4C) Blue sky with a light breeze coming up the canyon.

It’s Wednesday morning, the last day in camp.

The creek is nattering on like a garrulous old man.

Somewhere upstream a squirrel is chatting with the birds, who whistle incredulously at his wild prevarications.

My morning fire pops and crackles as I warm my toes and wait for the old blue tea kettle to come to a boil.
