I really love this Haiku because it makes me think of my niece on Christmas morning. She wakes up and runs to the windows to see if there are boot marks in the snow from Santa which my brother places on the front lawn every year to keep the illusion alive. So every time it snows on Christmas he makes it extra special. So imagine little Callie running to the window in hope of seeing Santa as her little brother trails close behind. Lisa

The simplicity of the visual is perfect as well as the idea of a dreamer and his/her thoughts on the world itself. The world is an evil place and it’s almost every thinker’s dream to the idea of someone saving the world. Hannah
