There’s actually no reason at all you can’t have a 2nd foot trochee - so long as it’s preceded by a caesura. That’s the key: medial trochees typically require a preceding caesura. Here’s an example, for instance, in the second line of Wilfred Owen’s most famous poem:

Couple of points here. Many bad faith commentators dishonestly conflate advocation for the dismantling of an apartheid state with advocation for a genocide of Israeli Jews. As for “not most Israelis“, in May, when the genocide was well under way, only 4% of Israeli Jews thought it excessive.

#Poetry question! Can anyone think of any other poems where the last *sentence* is a #spondee? Just two syllables, both stressed? The first poem here is by #WilfredOwen
