Oak and Ash and Thorn! An extract from my Grail Cycle

I read to you from the penultimate section of my Arthurian Poem, in which, with the help of a Naiad, the three grail knights summon the dryads of Oak and Ash and Thorn to help them on their journey through the Wasteland.

A lament with hope is exactly what this world has and always will need, lovely.

Could you imagine having a grandfather like Malcom growing up!❤

[@Dwaindibbley1]

OK, I have never taken to poetry or felt the story or message they hold, but I have just listened to this and I thought it was amazing. The detail and flow was just fantastic and I can honestly say, this will be on my wish list once released. I am actually blown away by its impact on my feelings. You must also do the reading for audible. I love your voice but also the feelings you impart. Thank you for sharing

[@SuperTinyeyes]

Thanks for having me over . Congratulations, beautiful, I look forward to owning.

[@Bigpappawpiper]

Thank you kind sir. Your writing has helped me both mentally and emotionally and spiritually. God bless you because of your writing another life was saved. If your ever in Indiana I would love to hear you speak and sing. I will smoke a pipe in your honor today.

[@jjh9355]

Very nice. I enjoyed this tremendously.

[@fhardison1616]

I can't wait for its publication! I've loved all the videos.

[@Drbrd108]

Congratulations, Malcom! Well done. Thank you for letting us share in the joy of the process with you.

[@theappalachianbros.8293]

Looking forward to this coming out! Thank you for sharing and thereby amplifying God's light through your work. Excited to read and share it myself.

[@reaganvernon7925]

Marvelous. So excited for the complete work!

[@jazzsprite10]

I was literally about to send you a coffee and wonder if you had still been working on it! Excited to see it come out

[@sethkidwell6728]

Good to see you again Malcolm. I enjoyed your appearance on the pipe cottage channel. May the Lord bless you today:)

[@Scotch5ailor]

Most excellent. Thank you for your work here. It's dear and important. Please continue and bless.

[@ronniewhitakerIIImusic]

Dr.Guite, your channel has broadened my affection for fine literature. As well as stories that growing up in southern America, I am not as familiar with. Such as the Wind in the Willows. Do you have any recommendations of literature that you highly recommend? Aside from obviously the importance of Scripture, what would be texts that are important to you?

[@elliejohnson2633]

Congratulations Malcolm hope you are fully enjoying the satisfying achievement of this moment ! First draft done -- go you ! Thank you so much for sharing this -- for me the other, earlier tastes throughout SITL have been just as magical, enchanting and moving as this one. Just one problem, which Blake, as always, recognised more, more and more please ! Again, thank you !

[@BorisCroire]

I'm excited for your Cycle! Such wonderful lyricism twined with such profound meaning, truly poetic

[@Nighttrainpiper]

Very enjoyable, I appreciate the personifications of the three

[@yesterdayswine]

[@DanielKellyFolkMusic]

Bravo, this is beautiful Malcolm.

[@annienardone7285]

I am smitten and looking forward to reading the entire work very soon!

[@Scribblore]

A tremendous accomplishment!

[@yusufsayed1583]

👌 awesome , amazing writing ✍️ love the story 💯 Greetings from south africa 🇿🇦

[@3riverspiper1792]

Malcolm, thank you so much for this excerpt from your latest works, since you first mentioned these trees I have been more aware of there significance on my walks through our local woodlands. May I respectfully ask , when do you anticipate these works will be available in print ? and secondly, how many pipefuls of tobacco joined you on this quest ? Nb, you do not have to answer the second question. God Bless Steve.

[@user-km1sd7ou3c]

Hi Malcolm. I am sorry for asking. I am going to Peterson in Dublin on Saturday. Can give me some advice on buying my first pipe . If you are too busy I understand. Thank you . God bless.

[@mnelson1960]

This was rich. Like honey dripping from your lips.

[@JM-lz3pu]

What is the tobacco in the rectangular tin with the scenery on it?

[@charlespayne2002]

Please post a link to where we can buy it when complete.

[@thedreadtyger]

"The land and the king are kind of linked." What an understatement! Beautiful. But not so beautiful as your poetry, its good old rhythms of 7s and 6s and the rhymes that work in your speech but not in mine. Oh, I'll gladly buy it when its printing comes! Lastly, Father, i wish you as much of the blessing of Holy Week as can be borne.

[@shawndavila72]

When is it getting published?

[@MalcolmGuitespell]

hopefully some time next yeaR
