Find a picture that interests you then look at it for a few minutes. Notice the colors and the mood, see what is happening and whats in it and just let it soak in. Then take words from your list that you think could go with it. Put the words in a sequence that makes at least a little sense and then change it around. Keep moving the words around, taking some away, adding in more. Soon you will have a poem, it may make sense or it may not. What ever you do is right!
I used a postcard of the Charleston Battery. Here is a picture that looks just like it:
"valiant oak trees are a disciplined regiment
their regal power supersedes the sunshine
spanish moss are honored to be among the foliage
the oppressed humidity cries out for freedom
but all insurrections are overwhelmed
honor the oak trees; fearless and foremost "
(I added the words their, among and cries out)
I also did another from a picture of British soldiers crossing a bridge.
"honored discipline
regal power
crimson regiment
awaiting insurrections
across the restless bridge
valiant minority
dare freedom
muster courage
against the depredations
the victorious make history"
(I added the words across, bridge, and against)
