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.

L'aurore est rouge encore,
Jette au loin son cri d'or.
Le coucou chante
Pleurent comme une enfant.
Il court à la cuisine.
Le dindon roue en s'esclaffant :
Les colombes de ma cousine
Et le vieux paon qu'Iris décore
Le coucou chante au bois qui dort.
