Where Aspen Trees Grow--By Paul Callus--Malta

Where Aspen Trees Grow 

where aspens huddle
in dense woods or open heaths
I often linger...
the shimmering foliage
my inebriated soul

Paul Callus is a Maltese author who writes both in Maltese and English. He has contributed to several anthologies. Apart from poetry he writes lyrics for songs and has published two books, one a story book aimed at children (related to his experience as a teacher) and a historical book based on research.
