The Quark In The Road
Spring in my garden is an antidote to the pandemic blues

Magnolia blossoms are opening now.
Daffodils noddingly shake.
A robin is pecking at seeds on a bough.
Tulips are ready to wake.
Solomon’s seal is spiking the air.
Grass floods the ground in deep green.
Resurgence of everything is everywhere
Defying against quarantine.

Aquinas wired
I’m Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I’m enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I’m an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”.
