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.

Last night’s rain has ceased, leaving a dense fog filling the canyon.
An errant breeze twists loose a few leaves from the maple. They sway back and forth, drifting lazily to the ground.
Birds struggle awake, cheeping briefly, then are still.
The rooster crowed once or twice, late and without enthusiasm.
Walter’s intermittent barking has trailed off.
The soft, grey dullness envelopes me as I sip my tea.
Good morning.
