The Quark In The Road
Bird Watching 101
Yesterday in the garden, I saw a goldfinch.
I stood stock-still for fear he would flinch
And fly away.
For a few moments I was able to feast on it:
Dazzling in a yellow suit with black beret bonnet.
It made my day.

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”.
