Happy New Year

The Writer, Vernon Wade

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.

 

1/1/26 7:00 31F (-0.5C) Overcast, gray, subdued.

Everything is encased in ice. Haze from morning  fires has settled in the firs. A freezing mist is transitioning to light rain. Snow is forecast.

I am surrounded by the discordant squawks of birds.

Walter grumbles a low, restrained bark; alert, suspicious of this morning’s dull inactivity.

Happy New Year.
