Joseph Lewis

Joseph Lewis' work has recently appeared in Atomic Petals and Pierian Springs, as well as several print journals in D.C. and Virginia. 

There must be better ways to spend a Sunday
than to read another work on the Masters.

Maybe ride a boat on a quiet lake
or fly a red kite in the cloudless sky.

Not looking at a still life of apples
when the real ones ripen on the vine—

the immense panorama of the sky
can never be caught by the painter's eye.
