Talk:Trochee
It would perhaps be easier on those who do not posses English as a first language if the verses on this page were written with a format similar to the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iamb where unstressed syllables are not bold and stressed syllables are written in bold, so as to get a clearer idea of the flow of sound in a trochee.

A Docked Syllable
I hate to be pedantic, but isn't it more accurate to say that trochaic lines often have the final unstressed syllable ommitted, rather than an extra stressed one added?
