Seasonal Concupiscence

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.

Spreading maples throb with bees

The air tastes like honey

Everywhere, trees are blooming

Here and there,

beneath licentious conifers

and cottonwoods dripping with pollen,

a shy morel appears.
