Short Poems on the Spring Season

1. The Itsy Bitsy Spider

“The itsy, bitsy spider, climbed up the water spout.

Down came the rain and washed the spider out.

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,

So, the itsy, bitsy spider went up the spout again.”

~Anonymous

2. It is Springtime

“Leaves are growing on the trees,

on the trees, on the trees.

Leaves are growing on the trees,

it is springtime.

All the grass is turning green,

See the birds build their nests,

Watch the flowers start to grow.”

~Anonymous

3. Spring is Coming

“Spring is coming,

Spring is coming.

How do you think I know?

I see a flower blooming,

I know it must be so.

Spring is coming,

Spring is coming,

How do you think I know?

I see a blossom on the tree,

I know it must be so.”

Of sudden springtime showers.

Bright with golden daffodils

And lots of pretty flowers.”

Do you see a sign of spring?

Tell us what you see.”

It is springtime,

Winter’s gone,

Winter’s gone.

Summertime is coming,

Summertime is coming,

It won’t be long,

It won’t be long.”

7. Good-bye, Winter!

Good-bye, Winter!

Spring is in the air.

Flowers are in the bloom.

You see colors everywhere.

Birds build their nest.

In branches way up high.

But out my window, that loud bird.

Woke me up again … sigh!

~Becky Spence

8. Spring

Spring is budding green joy

Fresh breeze and sunshine

Birds singing

Water running

Children sloshing through puddles

On the sidewalk

Spring breathes anticipation

Green shoots sprouting from the earth

Unfurling into flowers

The sweet scent of hyacinths

A baby bird learning how to fly

Spring sweeps the dust out of our corners

As we wake up

As we look and listen

To the promise of a morning sunrise

To joy unfolding

To a glowing new life

~Carole Mullen

Poems About Spring Flowers

1. Our Springtime Garden

“What a lovely time of year,

Time of year, time of year,

What a lovely time of year,

In our springtime garden.

See the flowers swing and sway,

Swing and sway, swing and sway,

See the flowers swing and sway,

In our springtime garden.”

~Anonymous

2. I Love the Flowers

I love the budding trees.

I love the chirping birds.

I love the buzzing bees.

I love the Springtime,

When the sun is warm and bright.”

~Anonymous

3. Buttercups and Daisies

“Buttercups and daisies,

Oh, the pretty flowers,

Coming here the springtime,

To tell of sunny hours.

While the trees are leafless,

While the fields are bare,

Buttercups and daisies,

Spring up here and there.”

~Mary Howitt

4. The Parade

“I like the parade of flowers,

That marches by the year.

The parade begins in spring,

And ends when winter is near.

The pretty flowers pass waving,

Crocus, tulips and rose.

And I keep waving back,

Until the last flower goes.”

~Anonymous

5. Daffodowndilly

She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,

She wore her greenest gown;

She turned to the south wind

And curtsied up and down.

She turned to the sunlight

And shook her yellow head,

And whispered to her neighbor:

“Winter is dead.”

~A.A Milne

6. Dear Grif

Dear Grif,

Here is a whiff

Of beautiful spring flowers;

The big red rose

Is for your nose,

As toward the sky, it towers.

Oh, do not frown

Upon this crown

Of green pinks and blue geranium

But think of me

When this you see,

And put it on your cranium.”

~Louisa May Alcott

Spring Poems About the Earth

1. Spring is Here

“Spring is here,

Spring is here.

Hear the birds,

Hear the birds.

They are busy finding,

They are busy finding.

Big fat worms,

Big fat worms.”

~Anonymous

2. March Winds

“March wind is a jolly fellow;

He likes to joke and play.

He turns umbrellas inside out,

And blows men’s hats away.

He calls the pussy willows

And whispers in each ear,

Wake up you lazy little seeds,

Don’t you know that spring is here?”

~Anonymous

3. A Little Seed

“A little seed for me to sow,

A little seed to make it grow.

A little hole, a little pat,

A little wish and that is that.

A little sun, a little shower,

A little while,

And then a flower!”

~Anonymous

4. My Spring Garden

“Here is my little garden,

Some seeds I’m going to sow.

Here is my rake to rake the ground,

Here is my handy hoe.

Here is the big, round yellow sun,

The sun warms everything.

Here are the rain clouds in the sky,

The birds will start to sing.

Little plants will wake up soon,

And lift their sleepy heads,

Little plants will grow and grow

In their little, warm earth beds.”

~Anonymous

5. A Child of Spring

I know a little maiden,

She is very fair and sweet,

As she trips among the grasses

That kiss her dainty feet;

Her arms are full of flowers,

The snow-drops, pure and white,

Timid blue-eyed violets,

And daffodillies bright.

She loves dear Mother Nature,

And wanders by her side;

She beckons to the birdlings.

That flock from far and wide.

She wakes the baby brooklets,

Soft breezes hear her call;

She tells the little children.

The sweetest tales of all.

Her brow is sometimes clouded,

And she sighs with gentle grace,

Till the sunbeams, daring lovers,

Kiss the teardrops from her face.

Well, we know this dainty maiden,

For April is her name;

And we welcome her with gladness,

As the springtime comes again.

~Ellen Robena Field

6. What’s Spring?

What’s spring

in spring?

Buds spring!

Leaves spring!

Flowers spring!

Trees spring!

Plants spring!

Grass spring!

robins sing

in spring!

~Ghazal

7. Spring

The wind told the grass.

And the grass told the trees.

The trees told the bushes.

And the bushes told the bees.

The bees told the rain.

And the robin sang out clear.

“Wake up

Wake up

Spring is here!”

~Anonymous

Spring Frog Poems

1. Hoppity Frog

“Hoppity Frog,

Jump on the log,

And jump off the other side,

Hoppity Frog.”

~Anonymous

2. Spring Wish

A frog’s a very happy thing,

Cool and green in early spring,

Quick and silver through the pool,

With no thought of books or school.

Oh, I want to be a frog,

Sunning, stretching on a log,

Blinking there in splendid ease,

Swimming naked when I please,

Nosing into magic nooks,

Quiet marshes, noisy brooks.

Free! And fit for anything!

Oh, to be a frog in spring!

~John Chipman Farrar

3. The Frog

Have you ever wished when fretting

‘Bout the chilly air of spring,

When the days are longer getting

And the frogs begin to sing,

Have you ever wished that you could

Just change places with the frog—

Let him shoulder all your trouble

And then leave you on the log,

In the middle of the mill-pond,

Nothing in the world to do?

Have you wished you could change places,

You be frog and frog be you?

He don’t fret ’bout rainy weather;

If the sun shines he don’t cry;

He just takes it all together;

Happy wet and happy dry.

~William Henry Dawson

FAQs

1. How can spring poems help kids develop observation skills?

Poems related to spring often highlight sensory details like blooming flowers, buzzing bees, or gentle rain, prompting children to observe and describe seasonal changes in their own environment. Teachers or parents can extend the learning by asking questions like, “What signs of spring do you see outside that the poem mentions?” to reinforce the connection between words and real-world experiences.

2. Are there spring poems that incorporate simple science concepts?

Many spring poems weave in basic STEM themes—like how seeds grow, why rainbows appear, or bird migration—in a lyrical way. For example, a poem about a caterpillar’s transformation can spark conversations about life cycles, blending poetry with nature-based learning.

3. What makes a spring poem “kid-friendly”?

Ideal spring poems for kindergarten kids use short, rhythmic lines (e.g., “Pitter-patter, raindrops fall”), concrete imagery (baby chicks, kites flying), and repetition. Avoid complex metaphors—instead, focus on joyful, relatable moments (jumping in puddles, planting seeds) that resonate with their daily lives.

Reciting these poems with your kids will be the highlight of your evenings, as you gather around, share a few laughs and recite these together. Have fun with your kids and welcome spring with joy and happiness.
