Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Sailing in the light.
What is violet? clouds are violet
What is red? a poppy's red
What is orange? Why, an orange,
Just an orange!
In the summer twilight.
What is yellow? pears are yellow,
In its barley bed.
What is blue? the sky is blue
What is white? a swan is white
What is green? the grass is green,
By a fountain's brink.
Where the clouds float thro'.
What is pink? a rose is pink
Rich and ripe and mellow.
With small flowers between.
