Music has meaning. True, it's a kind of meaning that we cannot put into words, but meaning nonetheless. These exercises do not appreciate this fact. (It's like taking a poem and generating another poem of a different author based on phonemes alone).

For the LANGUAGE poets, meaning is often secondary, what is really of interest is the permutations of existing material. As an example, see [1] where Charles Bernstein creates an English poem by choosing words that sound similar (but don't mean anything similar) to the German words in Heinrich Heine’s classic poem "Lorelei".
