Austin Dobson uses a dactylic trimeter cut short by catalexis in "On a Fan that belonged to the Marquise de Pompadour;" implied offbeats are marked in parentheses:

    /     *    *  |   /   * * |   /   (*) (*)
Chicken-skin, delicate, white,
  Painted by Carlo Vanloo,
Loves in a riot of light,
  Roses and vaporous blue
 

In this poem, Edith Sitwell employs a somewhat ambiguous meter, but  in some lines it may be as close to dactylic trimeter as to anything else:

The Fan

            LOVELY Semiramis
            Closes her slanting eyes:
            Dead is she long ago.
            From her fan, sliding slow,
            Parrot-bright fire's feathers,
            Gilded as June weathers,
            Plumes bright and shrill as grass
            Twinkle down; as they pass
            Through the green glooms in Hell
            Fruits with a tuneful smell,
            Grapes like an emerald rain,
            Where the full moon has lain,
            Greengages bright as grass,
            Melons as cold as glass,
            Piled on each gilded booth,
            Feel their cheeks growing smooth.
            Apes in plumed head-dresses
            Whence the bright heat hisses,--
            Nubian faces, sly
            Pursing mouth, slanting eye,
            Feel the Arabian
            Winds floating from the fan.
