Ein Mungo war Rikki – nach Pelz und buschiger Rute glich er fast einer Katze, doch Kopf und Art waren die eines Wiesels. Seine Augen und die immer bewegliche Nase schimmerten rosig; leicht konnte er sich am ganzen Körper kratzen und putzen und dabei ganz nach Belieben einen seiner Läufe benutzen. Seine Rute konnte er aufplustern, dass sie wie eine Flaschenbürste aussah; und wenn er durch das hohe Gras schnürte, ließ er seinen pfeifenden Schlachtruf ertönen: Rikki-Tikki-Tikki-Tschick!

Loss in any form seems to burden us with more weight than anything that can possibly be gained or learnt from. The loss of a person, a loved one, is often overwhelming. Lives so interwoven that the severing or loss of one life leaves the other weakened, unable to function for some time. Recovery comes in a myriad of forms but is usually debilitating, slow and, in the end, we are not as whole as we once were.It is a subject that authors return to again and again.

Do men need poems? Is the gender of brawn and ‘can-do’ really a candidate for honeyed verse? Obviously yes. Through the centuries men seem to dominate the writing of poetry. From books of epics to quatrains of love poetry it seemed to be a man’s world. His domain. A volume purely for men, to show other facets of their personalities and characters seems to be an obvious choice. One verse fits all is, in fact, far removed from the truth. Men needs words. They need support, understanding as well as goals, ambition and structure. They need purpose, desire; the need to love and be loved.
