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.

Easy Mode - Auto check enabled
In loud and strident voices.
Looked underdone and harassed
The rich arrived in pairs
And out of place and mean
And also in Rolls Royces
The people in between
They talked of their affairs
And ladies all assembled.
Whose features they resembled
And horribly embarrassed.
The poor arrived in Fords
And laughed to see so many lords
