coarse and antiquated
tired and restless souls
quaint reminders
fallen idols remain

what a wonderful take
al that is old is new once more reborn, fallen idols still remain in modernized form this is a very soulful tanka
thanks you for submitting this.

Reminds me of a stroll in the Met museum. My short attention span had me distracted by the capitals at the beginning of each line, but it's certainly not something I would penalize you for. I'm glad I waited for you!

Struggle
I always struggle with the issue of Caps at the beginning of each line.... I've gotten so used to doing it, that sometimes I have to be reminded they get in the way sometimes... thanks for the kind words, and for letting me join at such a late hour.
