Prompt for a Spring Poem

New month, new theme! April is national poetry month. I decided to combine music and poetry as my theme since aspects of the two arts overlap. I was going to have a prompt for a spring haiku today, but then a poem came to me that was strictly modern, so I settled on a prompt for a spring poem–any style. Hope you enjoy it! Please write your spring poem in the comments. Click here for more poetry prompts.

Spring creeps in.

Not like its cousin Fall,

Who bursts onto the scene

In a blaze of glory.

Spring sneaks and slides,

A bud here, a blade there.

And then you wake up one morning

And green has wrapped the world

In a serene hug.

Spring Haiku

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a poetry prompt. Since haikus describe nature, spring haiku is the perfect prompt to go with this month’s theme of nature.

The redbuds are blooming in my neck of the woods in the Buckeye State. Here’s my haiku:

Redbud trees feathered

In pink and purple glory:

A bird dressed for spring

Click to read my spring haikus from 2018 and 2019. Lori Z. Scott wrote an impressive haiku that’s also an acrostic on her Instagram page.

What haiku does spring inspire in you?
