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.

Echo the ocean, from shore to sub
Silent contractions, in exoskeletons strong
Now human hearts, with their lub and dub
By the ocean's edge, where waves meet the land
The heartbeat of Earth, in waves slow and strong
Still drives us on, in ebb and flow
The beat goes on, through calm and strife
From sea to land, each evolutionary stride
Cambrian waters, life's fertile ground
Echoes through time, life's unending song
The pulse that started so long ago
From single cell to complex mind
In vertebrate chests, drawing life near
Guided by tides, both gentle and long
Through scales and fins, the beat grew clear
Carried the rhythm of the primal tide
All life connected, all intertwined
I hear Earth's pulse in the surf and sand
Where arthropod hearts began to pound
The first heartbeat of our ancient Earth
The pulse of existence, from first to last
Waves and heartbeats, the dance of life
A rhythm as old as the planet's birth
From primordial seas to consciousness vast
