Today’s poem is Ladies' Arm Wrestling Match at the Blue Moon Diner by Jenny Johnson.
The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Maggie writes… “Today’s poem begins with a little advice that made me smile because of its sauciness, and the poem unfolds into such a rich, detailed portrait — not a portrait of a lady, but of ladies, shedding old expectations and claiming new power.”
