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.

 

 

1/10/26 6:30 33F (0.5C) Calm, dry, icy. The waning half moon glows dimly through a gauzey veil of clouds.

Something just grabbed a duck from the pond. I could hear them thrashing, wings beating the water, and the frightened calls of his companions making a hasty escape.

A sparrow flys away in alarm.

Walter barks, unsure of whose side to take.

A few pitiful quacks, the rustle of briars. Silence.
