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.

i'm not at the bottom,
quite like
is a stair
stop.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
there isn't any
It isn't really
where i sit.
It's somewhere else
Halfway up the stairs
other stair
Isn't up
i'm not at the top;
Instead!
so this is the stair
I always
And it isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
Anywhere!
Halfway down the stairs
Run round my head.
where
It isn't in town.
it.
