Imagery of Shedding and Renewal

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.”
