" I spent four hours writing a shit poem about Kermit." is probably the best confessional line of poetry I have heard today! Thank you, @CarolineBirdUK for your brilliant honesty on your writing process and always astonishing, arresting, moving, and irrestible humour!

Look forward to catching up with this!
