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.

A small bird whistles once, then flits through the naked branches of the willows. The low murmur of ducks comes from weeds by the pond.
Mist rises through the tall firs and cottonwoods along the creek.
Good morning.
