2 PHP Imagick codes into one - php

Question

I am trying to integrate two small Imagick codes into one. The first code splits a sentence into words, then them into images. The second code appends these images, making a whole image-based sentence. In the first code, I save individual word-based-images in a directory, which is then fetched by the second code using PHP's globe function. Now, I do not want to write images in the directory, instead I supply them to the second code in run-time and append. I need an idea how to do that. I am thinking about Clone() function, building an image index, but I am not sure about that and I need your feedback.
// First Code
$text = "Some sample senetnces";
$words = explode(' ', $text);
$imageout = new \Imagick();
foreach ($words as $no => $word)
{
$draw = new \ImagickDraw();
# $draw->setStrokeColor($strokeColor);
$draw->setFillColor('black');
# $draw->setStrokeWidth(2);
$draw->setFontSize(36);
$draw->setFont(DOCROOT . "/Congenial-Bold.ttf");
$draw->annotation(50, 50, $word);
$imagick = new \Imagick();
$imagick->newImage(500, 300, 'DeepSkyBlue');
$imagick->setImageFormat("png");
$imagick->drawImage($draw);
$imagick->trimImage(0);
$imagick->setImageBackgroundColor('DeepSkyBlue');
$imagick->spliceImage(10, 0, $imagick->getImageWidth(), $imagick->getImageHeight());
$imagick->writeImage(DOCROOT . '/tem634/fonts-' . $no . '.png');
# $images[] = $imagick->Clone();
}
// Second Code
$images = glob( DOCROOT . "/tem634/*.png");
$canvas = new Imagick();
foreach ($images as $image) {
$im = new Imagick($image);
$canvas->addImage($im);
}
// append the images into one
$canvas->resetIterator();
$combined = $canvas->appendImages(false);
$combined->setImageformat("png");
$combined->writeImage(DOCROOT . '/append.png');
