Write It! Piecewise Poem

Hello artists and stumbling creators of the internet!

Let's try something new today. Let's actually write poetry using something even more concrete than a thought-provoker (if you don't know what those are, read the older posts on my blog).

I remember in my first high school English class ever, one of our first assignments was to create a poem using 14 words.

apparition, faces, the, petals, wet, black, these, of, a, bough, crowd, in, the, on

Kids came up with all sorts of things, from wet faces to black petals. My own poem was almost exactly like the original, oddly enough-- "In a Station of the Metro", by Ezra Pound.

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;

Petals on a wet, black bough.

— Ezra Pound

Let's do that today with our own set of words. Why not? And what more appropriate way to name these verbal creations than "Piecewise Poems"? 
I am slightly mathematically inclined, if that's any indication. 

Hm. 
Okay.
Here are today's words.

the, washed, sand, crumbles, stand, the, footprints, you, earth, in, away, slowly, in, place

Yes! 14 words, just like Ezra Pound's succinct masterpiece. 

Let me tell you, it wasn't easy finding those 14 words. 
Okay. 
Get thinking, interneters. Actually do this. If it seems stupid, do it anyway, because you just might surprise yourself. And if you don't, at least you'll have a nice 14-word poem at the end of it. 

I will reveal my own piecewise poem in a few days. Leave your creations down in the comments! I want to read these! :)

Enjoy loveliness and remember to muse!
