by Esther Greenleaf Murer
Lurching from quagmire to quagmire,
we stop by the nation’s capital and feel
a bright new buzz in the air:
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
Esther Greenleaf Murer lives in Philadelphia. In addition to New Verse News, her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in The Externalist, The Ghazal Page, Mimesis, Light Quarterly, and Town Creek Poetry.
