Adroit fingertips
Undid me quickly, tongues of
Fire becoming one.

The world doesn’t always reward the loudest voice, but it often remembers the #adroit mind - the one that bends without breaking, sees beyond the obvious, and leaves things quietly better than it found them.

‘Nope. No eating dictionaries over here. Just since attending a poetry retreat with my local word smith I’ve become quite #adroit at diction.’ Maud was speechless. Who was this woman and what had she done with Brenda? She was also tired. ‘Whatever. I’m going back to bed’ #vss365

Prickly Poet

Being a perversely prickly poet,
So #adroit at annoying divers folks,
I pen plenty of pugnacious poems
Assailing an assortment of archfoes.
A warring wordsmith who e'er wields his pen
Like some viciously bladed vouge of yore,
I wound sundry enemies with my works.

Can you hear the echoes of Algernon?

Adroitness bears no shortcuts.

So put the pebbles back in my mouth.

It was too soon to spit them out.

She fell out of the sky cellar and landed with a splash of yellow. She streaked across the grass and into my house, flinging wild colors til she was slowed by the cool native tones of my home. Her #adroit little fingers fashioned me a somber cage of air, then flew out the backdoor.

With an #adroit slouch,
The veteran spy feigned liking
His infiltration.

I haven't used A.I. at all, and I think better for it.
When others tout the things A.I. can do, I just ignore it.
I may not be #adroit at every skill, but still I find
The choice not to rely on some A.I. improves my mind.
