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.

春の雨 匂いや風を 連れてくる
Gentle rain of spring, softly falling,
Clouds drift away, skies turn to blue,
Bringing scents and winds, nature calling.
春の雨 優しく降り
Through the mist, a world anew,
生命(いのち)の息吹 運んでくる
Rain fades to memory, fresh and new.
Leaves glisten bright, grass sparkles with dew.
