Cage actually used full phrases rather than just
words- I'll call mine exhaustics-Dawg

n his early mesostics, Cage would simply write a

Then, he would fill in the blanks and come up
with a poem using
the spine he had chosen. For Example (by the
author):
the b

o
Xen are
ro
Aming
a
Mong us
op
Portunity is

I don't know where this example came from,
but it is NOT a mesostic. Neither is Dawgs
unfortunately. Neither one follow the rule of
mesostics
set forth by Cage.
