Write a Poem in Trochaic Meter contest entry

Fiddlesticks ugh! Nonsense,
rubbish! Heydays are so long
gone..handshakes no more,
gotta live like stagnate playmates!

Tailgates gone too, roommates masks
donned, brother! Shock waves outpaced
CalTrans nosedive, Covid may soon
be gone, hooray! Frenzied New Years,
house guests fainting when the dangling
masks were off while eating,left them
squealing baseless uproars. Grandma
kicked them all out, kerplunk, heave-ho!
Peeved, she spat! Her pumpkin pie
burnt..prime time  was when she
tossed the pie out too!

Author Notes
POETRY CONTEST
"Trochaic meter is often described as having a 'falling rhythm.' This refers to the fact that the stress comes first and then it falls off into the unstressed beat. This is in contrast to an iambic meter which has a rising rhythm (the stress comes first followed by the unstressed beat)." - from www.poemanalysis.com
