The path not clear As if washed away In a tide of hesitations I see it there, my dream With many obstacles, Hurdles all worth jumping Though none relenting - from I See It There Just Ahead of Me in In Idled Stacks by Robert M. Coles. What happens to a writer's works in progress? They sit unread, wasting away in idled stacks. Author and Poet Robert M. Coles, having lost his day job during the COVID-19 pandemic, took a dust rag to his old poetry, filled in the gaps with some modern commentary, and polished everything up to a fine shine. In Idled Stacks: A Collection of Poetry, Haiku, and Affirmations takes us on a journey of the ordinary and the anything-but-ordinary. Through his five-part epic, I See It There Just Ahead of Me, Coles takes us on a journey of following your dream, the obstacles that arise along the way, and what to do when you finally achieve your dreams. In Coming On Viciously In Droves (COVID) Martin details the day his life (and all our lives) were sent into a tailspin with safer-at-home orders and mask mandates. In Sad, Coles outlines his emotions when dealing with racism and police brutality. These poems, among others, and a sprinkling of haiku on nature, art, everyday life, and more make up a complete collection through the mind of Coles and his daily life.
