I so love and appreciate your videos!! Thank you Malcolm, I hope that you and yours are doing well. Prayers for your family 🙏

You remind me of my dad in a lot of ways. He loved Tolkien, guitar playing, and sailing. He wasn't much into pipes or pipe smoking, but 3 out of 4 isn't bad.

Congratulations on getting 100K subscribers! I am glad to be one of them.

Many thanks for the aural treat. May your Shireweed never bite and your beer mug always overflow!

Anyone know how to spell the name of the poet he read from who wrote "March on"

Glad to see that lovely Loar guitar again! Reminds me of my dad’s old Gibson ES-175, just without the cutaway. Beautiful instrument and nice pipe, too! Blessings

Wonderful as always. Thanks you . God bless.

I think Aquinas is right that the Trinity can only be arrived at by Divine Revelation rather than through natural reason, but once you take it as a starting point the whole world makes a lot more sense. There is little so fundamental and so sublime and so wonderful as the Trinity of Persons, which we mirror in our own lives. Thank you for the poetry!

Malcolm, I am watching this video in a hospital dining hall while my wife is in surgery. This video is a great comfort to me in a difficult time. Thank you, brother

Books, guitars, pipes...this is life.

If I could be like this man on 48 years I'd be happy. God Bless you and keep you safe.

Satchmo's trumpet is ransacking the Melody's secret 🎶 beautiful verse! Thanks, Malcolm!

Good Evening 😊 Awesome Played 🎸🎸 Congrats on Your Sub Count 🎉👏🏼 Thanks For The Read 📖 Have a lovely Day 🙏🏽 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦

New subscribers here too, I have just got into poetry and I'm in my early sixties. I am totally unskilled in the art but write as led by the Spirit of God. From a background of being a failure educationally never attaining any English O levels because of being dyslexic and more creative than academic, but God has the last laugh

All praise to Samwise the Stouthearted! Hero of unsought heroics! And all praise to Malcolm of Guite, Bard of Bards!

And congratulations on reaching the 100k subscribers x

Lovely video, thank you x

New subscriber here! Glad I found your videos. I love poetry and how you talk about it

I dont know how I stumbled across these videos as a northern twenty something year old but I do find them comforting

I improvised this poem in a few minutes earlier today as I sat with my wife and infant daughter before I went to work. I looked at my daughter and couldn’t help thinking about how bittersweet it will be later in down the road when she marries and leaves. The Maple Tree Of all possessions obtained in my twenties, my little tree sapling sat closest to my heart It came to me one dawn, barely twenty inches long; after feeble beginnings, it began to grow strong Many years I spent in careful nurturing, some shade, plentiful water and hours of bright sun In winter came the frost, and I covered the tree to protect it Months were spent in deep anxiety, but the fight with winter was finally won The maple reached for the sky as two decades had gone by And my tree began to no longer need me It warmed itself when cold, its leaves flashed red and bold I stood back and watched it continue to grow sweetly Then a man came along, much younger than myself, and begged if he could buy the land; My maple sat within its boundary, and though I wish forever at my home she’d stand, I could not rightly refuse him her hand And so my maple moved on, in the care of another, and was always loved well by the man; My only request was that as often as she can, to come home and see me and her mother

Thank you, yes, you did indeed feed my soul 💚

I would love to sit and chat with you sir. A pipe, pint, and poem. I love your content. It brings me joy in a world that is forgetting rhe simple pleasures. God bless you and please keep making content and writing.

Always such a treat to see new upload

Loving this channel 👍all the way 📖

For us who aspire to be poets, what would you say are some practical resources to study? The best way to learn to write is to read, and I’m sure poetry is much the same. The words flow easily, but the form is hard to master!

Thank you Malcolm. Your videos soothe me.

How many talents can one man have??? Never too many! Beautiful guitar and pipe!

Thanks for sharing Reverend

Malcolm, why are you not on TV in your own late night show?...I think you'd be marvellous.

Awesome!

What a lovely sound to welcome us! Don't stop, we're enjoying it... 💞 💙 Thanks for sharing the poems, and best wishes for the event, which no doubt goes better for a little thought and preparedness. By the way, we haven't forgot the wonderful poetry you rediscovered recently from 40 years ago. 🙂 Warm regards to you both.

Beard looks very shapely today

Congrats on 100K subscribers, you deserve them and more. Today I’m eagerly awaiting the delivery of my third pipe, a Savinelli Churchwarden, I’m 61 and started my pipe adventure six months ago. I have such wonderful memories of my grandfather smoking pipe, my mother still has his pipes and she’s giving them to me. I’ll treasure them.

Oh keep up the guitar routine and you will be in fine fettle in no time! Bravo. I think serendipity, play, and Jung's idea of synchronicity all swirl together when we improvise.

Another GEM. Congratulations and happy 100K Subscribers Mr. Guite.🎉🍻

Happy Friday from Edmonton, Alberta Malcolm 🍻

Just when I thought Malcom couldn’t get any cooler he starts a video playing a little blues and smoking a pipe.

"Come in." Yes I will don't stop

Thank you to the algorithm today. I've made a digital friend and now I'm here to stay.

I am excited for your next post! I pray you are doing well and taking care to not work too hard!

God Bless you Malcolm, your content and insight is so valuable during these times and on this platform. I pray for your voice to reach the younger generations elsewhere too. 🙏🏼

This was on my feed. I'm extremely grateful we crossed paths! You have gained another fan!

Good morning Malcolm, would you consider reading Seamus Heaney's Beowolff as an audio book?

Cosy as always Malcolm. You're right. Keep the imagination and the stories going.

There's more out there than Tolkien. Why do you only read from him? With all due respect to the Professor. His prose is not even remarkable!
