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.

Let a joy keep you
With a terrible love
Let joy kill you!
Joy always,
Sent on singing, singing,
Reach out your hands
Clutches his woman
And take it when it runs by,
Keep away from the little deaths.
I have seen them
As the Apache dancer
Under the ribs
Smashed to the heart
Live long and laugh loud,
Joy everywhere—
