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.
5/21/26 5:15 45F (7.2C) Calm, clear, dry.
The sun has yet to crest the ridge. The sky is clear. No wind stirs the trees.
The canyon is a palette of muted greens and blue.
Riotous birdsong fills the air. The rooster vocally protests his confinement.
My tea is warm and bitter. Dark rivulets track the outside of my white, porcelain mug.
Once I have finished my soak, I will dress and spend the day loading the truck.
By this time tomorrow I will be on my way to Rendezvous.
