when the muse goes
what is left?
-- only autumn

UPDATE: Hmm, maybe I could make this a little love poem:
when you go
what is left?
-- only autumn

What do you think?
Andrew suggests:
when he goes
what is left?
-- only autumn

Patia offers:
when you go
what is left?
-- only love

From Cindy:
when he goes
what is left?
-- dirty dishes

From Roger:
when they go
what is left?
-- tranquility

From Liz Kirby:
When Autum goes
what is left?
-- Another season.

Cathy has done something a little different, using my poem as the first stanza of a new piece:
when the muse goes
what is left?
-- only autumn
And from there-
you’ll let the worries
fall with the leaves.

Dave, following Cathy's lead, offers:
when the muse goes
what is left?
-- only autumn
each morning the once-
free leaves of grass
made to rime
by frost.

From Patrick:
only autumn
as you go
comes winter

From Kalamity:
When the muse goes
with the crows
what is left?
-- only autumn
cool weather,
leaves and feathers

From mjones:
Look, the tree is red!
Look!
My son is enraptured.
Autumn needs no muse.

Have we begun another collaborative poem dance? Crows is my favorite post ever; let's do it again! Use at least one line from a previous poem; leave your poem in the comments (or email me); and I will bring it up to add to the dance.
