The story invoked strong personal emotions
March 15, 2026
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.

This poem is a great example of how a unique poetic challenge, in this case the tautogram challenge, can inspire creativity and originality. The author has managed to skillfully use words starting with the letter "P" to create a poem that explores the fine line between pleasure and pain. The structure of the poem is simple yet effective, with each line building upon the previous one to create a sense of increasing intensity. The use of alliteration throughout the poem adds to its musicality and helps to reinforce the central theme. The imagery in the poem is visceral and evocative, with words like "prickly" and "pounding" effectively conveying the physical sensations associated with both pleasure and pain. The use of words like "piercings" and "papercuts" adds a layer of complexity to the poem, suggesting that sometimes pleasure and pain can be intertwined and difficult to separate. Overall, this is a well-crafted poem that showcases the author's talent for using language in a creative and thought-provoking way. The tautogram challenge has been executed brilliantly, resulting in a poem that is both engaging and memorable.
Pervert! ;)
Wow!! I feel kind of sated after that. I guess that's why it's called "The Little Death." Congrats.
Very well done
nice

Very, very well done!
The two go hand in hand Congratulations on top story

Congratulations on Top Story!
Oooooo. So sensuous! Love it 🥰❤️
This gave me chills in the best possible way. It really is a fine line, and it feels incredible when something is able to straddle the line between the two.
poem seems to explore the darker side of pleasure.....👌👍👍
❤️💯‼️
Oh my...is it hot in here? Yeah...that says a lot in so few words. It is so very true! As ever, killing it, absolutely killing it with these tautograms. Love the story you told...the thoughts provoked and feelings evoked!
I loved the duality of this piece and how you lead up to the 'peak' with slow sensuality and then took the dive down the other side with edging that very fine line. Awesome work!!
Perfectly pitched words between the dichotomy of pleasure and pain.
