Spring Haiku and Haiku Riddles

Writing haiku is an excellent practice for transforming your ideas and concepts into a few concentrated words.

Here are a few spring and summer inspired haiku:

March and hear the slosh 

Children dance at winter's end

drumming up flowers

The first flowers grow-

bright violets and daffodils

spring up from the rain

 

How long does it take-

leaf-crunching caterpillar

to unfold and fly?

Bushes of roses
the bumblebee moseys through
abundant bounties
 

 

These are literary haiku riddles. Guess the author, book, or character they are written about.

Explosion of jazz

recklessness and wealth excels

overindulgence

 

Young man in sorrow-

run away with me sister

everyone is fake

 

They make me burn books

I can't do it anymore

store them, keep them safe

 

Found a shiny thing

I took it from some creature-

back to simple life

 

If you pee blue-green

don't take the meds they give you

you will be sterile

I'm a prankster boy
I see my own funeral
friends gawk, family weeps

Love conquers, divides
our families are enemies
eternally young

Troubled southern town
Justice waiting on your wings
child's epiphany
