Fantastic imagery in this walk through a peopled town - - your pen queries the whys and yet writes so bravely of life and death\'s mysteries. Well done again Nick.

What a well written piece of a walk through human land.
It surely never made much sense to me.
It has taken me about now to give up hope on finding sense though.

A fine write Nicholas. Our town is busy. Though this reminds me of a woodland walk. A wood which is tended though, by conservation folk.

A fine write Nicholas. \'He/She who sups with the devil should use a long spoon\', said by someone or other in late 14th Century, I read. Maybe said by me. I\'m millions of years old, so I could have said it back then. lol.

Finding the right words aye, that\'s the rub. Is it art, if I change \"is\" to \"was\".?
Do poems fall from trees? Or must a man intercede? Are there such things as poets who can not spell, witches who cannot brew, Seers who can\'t foretell, or artists who won\'t tattoo. It\'s all about the words. Loved this one.- Phil A.

Words unfound - to disprove - false belief

You mustered something poignant and indeed your words paint a picture on the canvas of the mind. Another ache though. Like I was reaching out for something that had no form or shape and no one else could see. But still I sat and pondered it though it evaded my capture. And still I wanted to sense it. Knowing I never could.

My very first poem was written because the way a piece of artwork affected me.

Well your job was done because I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
In fact it’s a favourite.
Kind of romantic yet ‘broken’.
Gentle as a lullaby yet written like a eulogy.

You say it\'s a simple tale but it\'s very enigmatic nevertheless. I can read into it but interpretation is best left to each reader. A much enjoyed read.

The sad feel which oozes from these worthy lines tugs at the heart in the way good poetry does....... \"that which aches\" is the perfect title. - well done again Nick.

This certainly made me ache, in fact it really touched me. You painted a poignant vision in my mind and it panged in my chest.
Not had that for a while. Powerful.
Good job.

HI MIKE ~ Congratulations on being in Pole position ! Its easier for you ~ you just have to stay up til midnight (its nearly 1 am Friday here) we have to get up @ 5am to be first in LINE ! I like the structure of this poem it is replete with RHYME & RHYTHM which makes it cool to read and easy to recite !
The SUBJECT (which you indicate is all about Regret & Indecision) is less smooth to swallow !
Stanza 1. It permeates FEAR in the Minds of Men
S 2. Wandering in search of answers
S 3. Taken root ~ corruption sullies (very true)
S 4. Dithering through masquerades !
I have chosen these quotes because it may not have escaped your notice that in 2016 the UK voted to leave the EU (European Union) by 52% to 48%. Its a bit like Texas (Population 25 million) wanting to cede from the USA ! Teresa May (Our President ~ we do elect Females !) voted to REMAIN so in negotions (and in view of the almost 50 : 50 vote) with the EU have been to keep us half in & half out ~ because the EU is an essential Trading Partner. This has resulted in REGRET (that we ever had the REFERENDUM in the first place !) and INDECISION about how we can EXIT (BREXIT) the EU without having a HARD BORDER between N Ireland (UK) and the Independent REPUBLIC of IRELAND where most New Yorkers come from (Even Uncle Donald was seen wearing a Green Tie and a sprig of Shamrock today for St Patrick !). Also BREXIT without damaging the UK economy. The UK Parliament have twice rejected The Deal Theresa has made with the EU so now we are asking for an extension \'til JULY (it should have been done & dusted by 29th March 2019 !) So paradoxically (unless you are student of UK Poltics & the BREXIT SAGA) the QUOTES I have extracted form each Stanza ~ exactly mirrors the DILLEMAS facing the UK Parliament for months (and years !) to come. It makes the TRUMP administration seem rational !
Yours as always BROTHER BRIAN !
