Vocal!
For D.K Shepard's Vocal Acrostic Challenge
Volumes upon volumes piling up
Over the months and years of bleeding into the aether,
Crying, laughing, sharing wisdom from the heart
At this place where we all come together.
Loving you all and your art, I'm here – for a rant or a blether.

Merriam Webster - Word of the day: Tranche refers to a division or portion of a whole. World Contact Day is commemorated every year on March 15. It is a unique observance held globally to focus on communicating with extraterrestrial life and exploring the possibility that intelligent beings may exist beyond Earth. World Contact Day inspires people to invoke their curiosity and spend time thinking about the universe and the mysteries surrounding it. What is the “Ides of March”? According to the Roman calendar, the Ides are a monthly occurrence. In March and other months with 31 days, the Ides always falls on the 15th; it falls on the 13th in months with 30 days. The Ides traditionally marked the arrival of the new Moon and was cause for celebration. The word “Ides” is derived from Latin, meaning “to divide.” Mothering Sunday in 2026 falls on Sunday, March 15. Mothering Sunday, celebrated in the United Kingdom and Ireland, occurs on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is exactly three weeks before Easter. Unlike the fixed-date Mother's Day in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, Mothering Sunday’s date changes each year according to the Christian liturgical calendar. On March 15, 2026, several notable observances and events are celebrated: Dumbstruck Day: A day to express frustration. Everything You Think is Wrong Day: A day to challenge and celebrate wrong beliefs. International Day Against Police Brutality: A day to raise awareness and advocate against police violence. My look at today, March 15, 2026 below:

Congrats on your Honourable Mention… like the rhyme and final line.
Smashing entry! 😀
Your words resonate deeply, connecting hearts beautifully.
I love this! I've never done an acrostic before, but you've inspired me to give it a go!
This definitely deserves the “outstanding” insight. Truly a great acrostic!
I wish to be a part of this challenge, then reead what has already been written and think I can't compare to this.
Love this so much, Katarzyna!! Good to know you're here for the rants and blethers, though I hope to have fewer of those in the future! Haha!
This is fun and wise, Katarzyna! Great challenge entry!
