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.

 

 

12/11/25 6:00 58F (14.4C) Dry, blustery, dark.

A warm wind soughs through the trees, not steady, but regular, like the huffing gasps of a man climbing a steep hill.

Mid transit, high in the south, the half moon glows through a thin gauze of clouds.

Over by the creek  a duck quacks as daylight slowly seeps into this early December morning.

Chanterelles in butter followed by a sweet cider reduction, seasoned with nutmeg and ginger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chanterelles on toast topped with a dollop of Crema Mexicana, washed down with apple cider and mint tea.
