FORM IN POETRY

The following passage is actually a poem, but its original form has been changed so it no longer looks like a poem. Read it carefully and rearrange it so that it "looks like a poem". Do not change the wording, just the arrangement on the page. Be prepared to offer reasons for your arrangement.

Bad Dream

A few minutes ago you called out my name and I found you sitting in the middle of your bed in the dark trembling. What had stepped out of your dreams and chased you this time? “Just a pretend bear, Daddy?” I stroke your hair, damp with sweat, and in a moment, you’re asleep. I dread the time that’s coming— the time when your tears can’t be kissed away by me.
