OK, here is an example using the IM built-in images logo: and rose: 
(which require the colon), normal images do not use the colon, but 
need a suffix (see 
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php#builtin-images)

I will add the rose image to the top left corner using -gravity 
NorthWest and some text to the bottom center using -gravity South and 
annotate.

No clone or parenthesis is needed in this case.

you can change the position of the text relative to the bottom using 
the coordinates following -annotate


convert logo: rose: -gravity NorthWest -compose over -composite \
-fill blue -font Candice -pointsize 36 -gravity South  -annotate +0+0 
"Some Text" tmp.png
