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.

In one or more existences
As soon impeach my crown!
Afraid? Of whom am I afraid?
Afraid to trust the morn
