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.

Dark and still with no wind yet. Above me drift thin, broken clouds.
I catch a rumor of wood smoke from the tipi.
Walter stirs from the deck to enforce the perimeter.
An owl glides by.
Dawn begins to lift the corner of night’s dull blue blanket.
The air feels cold, almost crisp.
My tea is hot, but not scalding. Cardamom softens its bite.
Good morning.
