Am I the only one who never learned the word spondee? Doesn't even look like a real word, people. Spondaic, on the other hand...
I like it. Spondee. Spondee, spondee, spondee. Hey, my spellchecker doesn't like it. And spondee isn't a spondee. Also, it sounds like an insult.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm partial to dipthong, myself. Sounds like an aboriginal musical instrument. Spondee sounds like the fabric used to make racing swimsuits and control undergarments.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Okay in my head I can hear the difference between ma-CHURE, ma-CHER, and ma-TURE, but not the difference between tee-VEE and TEE-vee. Am I being dumb?
