20+ Haiku Prompts for Springtime

Springtime is when little bits of green begin to show as the snow melts away, when nature is slightly more welcoming as the frigid temperatures of winter dissipate and winter coats can be stowed away once again.

I’ve put together this page as a resource to help anyone wishing to write a haiku or poem about Springtime. It contains ideas and imagery which I hope will inspire you.
