sonnet for Joseph



In realms of verse, where words seek to inspire,
I turn my gaze to Joseph Foerts with grace,
a name that holds a fire, a burning pyre,
igniting passions in life's vibrant chase.

His spirit dances with a vibrant flair,
an artist's heart, a soul of boundless art,
through strokes of brush, he paints with love and care,
creating masterpieces, a precious part.

With every stroke a story he unfolds,
a symphony of colors, rich and bold,
in vibrant hues, his dreams and visions thrive,
a testament to talent truly gold.
Joseph Foerts, your artistic light shines bright,
Forever in our hearts, a radiant sight.
