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.

Whether love talks and roses grow
Some beaten whisper of what happens
Deaf to our calls and voiceless
To come across with a word to us,
And the sun breaks at morning
Nor your lips sent a signal
Where you are over the dead line
Splattering the sea with crimson
Over the dead line we have called to you
The flickering shadows have not answered
