Malta Memories

Paul Callus and I have finally met
It’s a day I’ll never forget
Paul is so charming and he’s got greying hair….
I’ll say no more of our meeting… I’ll leave it there
What happens in Malta stays in Malta!

Paul is a class act for sure. His poetry inspires me but I can not teach that level of refinery in my writings. I admire greatly those that do. About a hundred poets here that I would love to ever meet in person, have a few beers and discuss poetry with. Both you guys are lucky to be that blessed IMHO.. LOVE THE MYSTERY LINE TOO!! A--7

Thanks Robert - we got so so well - i felt I had known Paul and his lovely family all my life - they even came and saw us off at the airport when we left - I have many happy memories and can't wait to return:-) Hugs Jan xx

Cool it's great when you can meet one of us fellow soupers in person, and I agree with your last line what is sad, and shared should just be between the two of you, cheri
