I made a small poem about DROD. It should probably be made into a song first.

That's only the first part. It took me over an hour to make. Time means higher quality, right?

Changing "shod" to "shoddy" would better preserve the trochaic meter.

I personally believe the distinction between iambic and trochaic is entirely artificial.

Trochaic is stress-first; iambic is unstressed-first. There's a big difference, especially in the ways you can intone them and still sound really good.

Okay, not ENTIRELY artificial, but the rhythm is still more or less identical.

That's because the difference is in emphasis.

It's not a difference in emphasis, only on the first syllable.

Nowhere did I say that they were identical, simply that the rhythm is. (Unstressed,) Stressed, unstressed, stressed and so on.
