Murmuration

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.

I walked past the elementary school
just as the children were released for noon recess
They erupted from the doors
swirling and scattering across the playground
The unintelligible cacophony of their voices
sounding like the shrill chirps and twittering of a flock of starlings
