n his early mesostics, Cage would simply write a word (usually a name)
vertically down the page, with all the letters capitalized. Then, he would
fill in the blanks and come up with a poem using the
spine he had chosen. For Example (by the author):

I used to sing a little ditty that went “nothing,
nothing…nothing, nothing. Nothing, nothing, all day long. Nothing,
nothing…nothing, nothing. that’s our little nothing song.

The two basic types of mesostics are:
• 50 percent mesostics: between any two mesoletters, you can't have
the second
and
• 100

2) Dont get so hung up on minutiae Rod. This is the Fluxus Fluxlist
after all, lighten up. If you feel the need to get hyper-technical than you
also need to accept that the word mesostic is a neologism in (inconsistent)

Sometimes, yes, sometimes no.
Mesostics can and have been done
with single words only and with wing words - it's just that they

Rod,
The point that I am trying to make is not that I am right or that you
(or anybody else) is wrong. The point is that the beauty in Fluxus is that it
thrives on diversity and difference rather than on dogma and rigidity. I think
that Cage was a genius and that his methods, means, and

Hi Cecil,
The first word Reparation can't be used because it already contains
your next letter E (rEparation). You can't have any words that
already have the following meso letter.
I don't know what your original text was, so I can't do what you
wanted to do, BUT I can create a mesostic

Also, I will say too that it's sometimes difficult to line up all of
the mesoletters in a straight line,
but Cage's directions allowed the text to be written horizontally too:
