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.
5/7/26 6:15 51F (10.5C) Blue sky ringed with clouds.No wind, no rain.

The rooster crows. Birds are singing.
The sun crests the ridge, spilling dappled beams of light into the canyon.
A car passes on its way to town.
Good morning.
