It’s officially December, and that means two things: cold weather and exam season. In an attempt to distract ourselves from reality, the Culture writers came together and wrote some winter-themed haikus. With thanks to our lovely Visuals editor Mahin-E-Alam for the designs that accompany the poems, we present our winter collection of haikus.

I miss snow so much, When it falls it makes me happy, Too bad I'm not home. Winter is not this, Constant rain and win; its snow, You can't change my mind. - Lauren K. I am five foot two, Wearing more than three layers, My bones still rattle. Kaila J
Mahin-E-Alam
wet leaves on the ground, autumn colours now long gone, all the trees are bare - Nina Huh. I am going bald, lingering autumn leads to, Permanent winter - Bruno Graneiro.
Mahin-E-Alam
My nose is frozen, Waving goodbye to the guests, I gave you my scarf - Polina Petlitsyna. I don't have a beau, So when I sipped, and kissed snow, I welcome the chill. I'm battling SAD, With hot chocolate in hand, Pale, in search of sum. - Sarah Williams.
Mahin-E-Alam
Old shoes with no grip, And icy sidewalks and roads, Make my body ache. - Tianne Jensen-DesJardins. oh mighty shovel, victorious, but one hour, later? snows again. evil air bites through, the thickest of scarves, time to, go home, and stay there. - Kyla F
Mahin-E-Alam
Pumpkin Spice is out. But winter calls for Chai Tea; Chai is forever. December means snow. But also final exams; All the best for both! - Shane Atienza
