Spring writing prompts invite a writer’s muse by the suggestion of the season’s sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches. Adventure down spring’s path, and write as your senses speak to you.

Whether you’re struggling with writer’s block or simply looking for new spring-themed writing prompts, spring is a perfect time to renew your dream of writing.

Rainy Season

Perhaps, you’re at a rainy season in life and feel cooped up inside, like you’re just existing with no purpose. The bad thing about rainy days is it isn’t convenient to garden, mow the lawn, or go to the park. But it is a great time to turn dreariness into fun things.

Observe children and how the simplest things inspire them such as taking an umbrella outside. Kids love playing with umbrellas (this usually happens inside the house).

So if you have children at home or grandchildren who visit you, let them play outside with the umbrellas. Show them how fun it is to get drenched and allowing the raindrops fall on their faces.

That’s making memories of a wonderful time even during rain showers.

New Beginnings

Spring brings a feeling of new beginnings when observing new life of mother nature. For example, seeing a new spring flower or watching a baby bird in its nest can be exhilarating. Likewise, bringing out the writing notebooks you stored on the shelf can create new beginnings with your creative writing.

Make up your mind that this is going to be the season of new beginnings for you. Let spring fever challenge you to new things and a renewed mind. Use spring activities and your favorite things to do on spring holidays as a springboard to launch a new writing career.

Free Writing Prompts

Fun free writing prompts are provided below to give you a fresh start in enhancing your writing skills. Since spring is a time of new beginnings, spring cleaning, creative projects, I am sharing story starters to stir up your own writing activities.

Descriptive writing comes alive with each season from the new year until the beginning of winter. When a season is nearing its end, people are ready and anxious to experience the newness of the upcoming season.

For example, the end of the school year makes everybody happy. It means that kids will be out of school, and families can finally go on summer vacation. Teachers can finally relax and take their time off from lesson plans and never-ending paperwork.

Spring Season Writing Prompts

Take a deep breath, and write the first thing you think of when reading these spring season writing prompts:

1. Still feeling the acute loss, she watched as the cardinal swooped from the tall pine toward the porch.
2. Five dogwoods lined the beginning of a dirt path beside the two-lane road.
3. A rooster crowed, disturbing me from the dream.
4. I leaned over to breathe in the scent of the honeysuckle beside a log, and out of nowhere…
5. The aroma of jasmine permeated the air.
6. Pink blossoms on the lone cherry tree danced in the wind.
7. Just as I reached up to feel the delicate jasmine flowers, my companion yelled, “Step back!”
8. Specks of gold moved through the thick meadow of purple flowers.
9. Sheets of heavy rain were blinding…
10. Looking in awe at the fields of poppies…

Acrostic Poem

You can challenge yourself further by writing an acrostic poem, a form that spells out a word or phrase like:

S

P

R

I

N

G

Choose a name or thing, and create your acrostic by writing your word or phrase vertically. Brainstorm or do a word map describing your word. Then fill in each line and finish your poem.

As you can see, my acrostic poem describes spring:

Spring Equinox

Picnic

Rain

Insects

New Plants

Gardening

Spring Photography

A great way to become inspired to write is spring photography. Go on a nature walk with your phone (or camera), and take pictures. Snap photos of whatever inspires you such as a spring garden, four-leaf clover, baby bunny or baby chick.

Included below are ten photos with captions. See if any speak to you, and write a sentence starter for a short story or maybe a persuasive essay.

Springtime Awakens the Muse

Springtime awakens the muse that can become dormant from winter. Vibrant yellow and purple hues of flowers cover meadows, and trees blossom in white and pink. But no matter the time of year, find a refreshing for your soul.

Find joy in the simple things of life like a spring picnic, April showers, May flowers. Plan an Easter egg hunt in your garden for the little people in your life. Go on a fun Mother’s Day outing with a friend or your children. Create joy, and enjoy writing about your life.
