This is a word-cloud exercise. Click the link below to see the word-cloud (you will need Java working in your browser).
Study the cloud and try to find groups of words which inspire you to some sort of poem. You do not need to use every word and you can add as many extra words as you need to build the scaffolding around them.
You can also adjust the words' exact forms: run -> ran, train -> trained, horse -> horses etc.

There is no end-date for the exercise, I will put another one up in a week or so...

p.s. Guess the source of the words

The dilettante revolutionary's lament
I have done harm
to important people
and am not sorry --
it's half what's due
a world this mean
but I lost interest.
