A Look at 2025: Music, Words, and Fun Puzzles

In 2025, people enjoyed a mix of old and new.

Poetry

They read poems that painted pictures with words.

• One poem talked about leaving behind small things, like silk from milkweed and spirit-papers.
• Another asked a moth for more light.
• There was also a poem about a city by the bay, loved by a poet who enjoyed its slow pace and big views.

Puzzles and Learning

Puzzles were popular too. There was a special crossword dedicated to a famous Broadway writer. It was tricky but fun.

People also loved learning from the past. They took classes with famous figures like Einstein and Cleopatra. These lessons were not just about facts but about life skills.

Music

Music played a big role. A list of favorite songs from 2025 showed a love for sounds that went beyond what computers suggested.

Unexpected Beauty

It was a year of finding beauty in the unexpected. Poems described scenes like:

• A roller rink at night
• A tornado from far away

These words made people think and feel.

A Classic Film

The year also had a classic film from 1995 that people still talked about. It was more than just a movie. It showed deep emotions and smart ideas. But it was often called a "chick flick", which didn't do it justice. It was a story that touched many lives.
