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.

Oh! Thank you, God, for a lovely day.
If I open my fingers a little bit more,

And I shut my eyes, and I curl up small,
The cold's so cold, and the hot's so hot.
Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Oh! God bless Daddy—I quite forgot.
It's a beautiful blue, but it hasn't a hood.
Mine has a hood, and I lie in bed,
