Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. 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.

Caught the rhythm in your stride, a mellow taking flight
Let the music be our guide, let our hearts freely stroll
Just me and you, baby, just me and you
This connection's deeper than any seed we sow
The sax wails a bluesy sigh, the piano hums a plea
Let's paint the Harlem sunset, with a love that's bold and true
Underneath the city lights, a rhythm takes control
Don't know your name, don't need to know
Yeah, let's paint the Harlem sunset, with a love that's brand new
This city's full of stories, but tonight, it's just me and you
Moonlight paints your face silver, whispers secrets in the breeze
Got that somethin' special, got that fire in your eyes
Hey there, handsome stranger, with a groove I can't deny
We move like the subway rumbles, a symphony of knees
This night's a canvas, baby, and we're the artistry
Trumpet solo in your smile, saxophone in your sway
Saw you walkin' down Lenox, shades low, hat tilted just right
My heart, a runaway drum, couldn't help but wanna play
