Contest: A Year in HaikusContest: A Year in Haikus

Write a haiku about 2025 and share in the comments.

Top haiku sorted by hot in this thread will win a bounty of 2025 sats on Dec 31st.

If the post gets more than 50 comments, then I will divide the total zaps it receives evenly and zap these among top three entries

Hopefully this prompts a nice little thread commemorating this year that I can pin to the top of ~the_stacker_muse
