According to http://www.cranberrydesigns.com/poetry/glossary.htm, trochaic inversion

Inserting a trochee (foot with stressed/unstressed pattern) into a line that is written with iambic meter. A trochaic inversion can serve to provide relief from the weak-strong pattern of iamb. It can also serve to reverse expectations or the flow of the poem. Here is an example of a trochaic inversion (the trochee is bolded): "Lillies that fester, smell far worse than weeds."

What is a polar inversion?

A polar inversion is a geometric transformation that swaps each point through a circle with its antipodal point. It is also known as a circle inversion, where the center of inversion is the center of the circle, and points inside the circle are mapped outside while points outside are mapped inside. This transformation preserves angles but distorts distances.
