D. A. Powell @dapowell.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Oh I thought of one I sampled with Louise Glück one night at a restaurant her son worked at. Not her fave but I loved it: Lobster corndogD. A. Powell@dapowell.bsky.socialWhat's the most appetizing double spondee you can think of. Mine's flapjack shortstack. 1120 0
Derek Mong @derekmong.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I feel like "lobster corndog" is more trochaic dimeter than double spondee, no? Flapjack shortstack is brilliant, though. And more delicious. 110 0
D. A. Powell @dapowell.bsky.social · 15/08/2026corndog is definitely spondee. I'll grant you lobster can be either, depending on who's sayin it. In Maine it is definitely two stresses. In California, it's practically one syllable. 110 0
