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.
7/1/26 6:15 55F (12.7C) Windy with white clouds scudding across the bright blue sky.
A jay squawks. Walter barks. The rooster crows. A gust sighs through the oaks.

Laundry hangs on the line. Camp dishes need scrubbing and camping gear has yet to be squared away and stowed.
The yellow morning sun lights up the trees along Neal Creek Road.
Have another sip of tea.
Good morning.
