Season To Taste

Horseradish

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.

She laughs because I never know how much horseradish is too much until after my first bite.
Eyes watering, mouth afire, my nose tingling like a funny-bone tapped exactly wrong.
And sometimes, I pepper my writing with unnecessary commas.
