Whimsy and Spice

Presenting a collection of poetry and short stories for a wide variety of tastes, Whimsy and Spice offers an exploration of themes both light and dark, wandering into tiny glimpses of a small world that appears out of our control.

Author Isaac M. Flores relies on language of great simplicity in both his free-form verses and his thought-provoking prose. It's often said that your shoes are the first thing people notice about you-a message that John the Sole Saver certainly took to heart in one of the short stories in this collection. Starlight and the moon play into this collection, as do solitude and our first loves. The work ranges from snow-covered mountainsides to deserts and from small towns to large cities, sharing brief, informal presentations of great thoughts and writings of well-known authors along the way.

For Truly Sure

Know you this,

for truly sure,

my deserts and my mountains.

I will always be your lover

though you may forever

sit so lonely ...

and so nobly all endure.
