Messing with Sappho
Die and tap to spiral a thread. A jig to
hold it, twisting, cutting and forming. Back off
before fracture occurs and jams it. Lastly,
lubricate often.

I don't know if this is of any help or not but have a read of Sapphics by Swinburne ... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45302/sapphics-56d224c13e1d5
As to 'could I teach you?' ... I'm happy to help if I can but bear in mind that you're a much better poet than I.
If you set up your falling meter and get that extra skip of the dactyl in the middle you'll be on your way.
Hardest part (for me) is to fit the form to the subject ...

And those professions have helped shaped the world around us in more ways than we can count.

thanks for your comment: those professions are usually taken for granted.
