4/19/26 6:30 45F (7.2C) Calm, temperate, mostly cloudy.
Thin, grey clouds shift above me.
Song birds trill.
A duck flys low overhead.
Somewhere a woodpecker is tapping.
A dove coos. A turkey calls nearby.
A shotgun blast.
Good morning.
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.
