Morning Dilemma

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.

Submerged in the darkness

I struggle to distinguish

the sound of water

tumbling down the creek

from the rushing tires

of an approaching car

Timing my naked leap

from the hot tub

so as not to offend

the neighbors.
