Leah,
I think my fave stanza was S3. I only had two problem with it, but only one I'll mention since this is in the fun section.
Anapest (anapaest) is called the "antidactylus" as it is the reverse of dactyl. If anything could be said to form a paradox with dactyl it seems it would be anapest rather than trochee, which is the opposite of iambic. I am referring to the following lines from S5.
"Totally ugly, a Warteous Dactyl walks
Right beside the Spiky Trochee,
Though together they’re a paradox,
One’s the other’s friend in theory."
In S4 I'm sure you are clever enough to find a way to replace "Anapest" with "trochee".
Anyway, just curious about your pair-up of dactyl and trochee.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
