Robot discharged
And released
Into the wild
Or at least
The wrong
Side of town
Rejection form
Citing a lack
Of adroitness

Which of course
Made it appear
Too human

Stumbling about
Maple and Vine
Hustling anyone
For a dollar

He drifts in oratory
in the mocking tales he tells
He borrows golden hues
to cast his frigid spells
Adroit in his deception
we're drawn outside by skies
where sun offers a promised warmth
enhancing Old Man Winter's lies

#vss365 Henry certainly wasn't clever. He wasn't good looking, and no one would describe him as #adroit. But he had a way of sitting quietly and not caring what happened around him that somehow attracted women. That guy never lacked for a date, and neither he nor the rest of us knew how he did it.

masterful
the gentle hunger in your touch
#adroit fingers move
with certainty
light as a bird’s wings
through hidden contours of my mind
yet heavy with the weight of knowing
where sudden fire
waits beneath skin
you map the architecture of desire
and know exactly where the walls give in

‘Look, we need to talk about your band.’

‘You have a problem with the #Adroit Droids?’

‘Well, not everyone, but your drummer needs to replace his cymbals. They sound like trash can lids.’

‘So, I should talk to him about the repercussions.’

no master
no tactful #adroit
perhaps i'm lacking
a certain wisdom

but the knowledge amassed
from the books i read
might just suffice
for the life i lead

the last time I saw something adroit it was a combination of coupons and app discounts that saved someone almost ten dollars on their groceries. that's the kind of shit we're coming to. and we better enjoy it while we still have pennies to spend on groceries in the first place

The mighty Madrona tree of the Pacific Coast, with its reddish-orange bark, is adroit at displaying her natural beauty.

Elegant and quiet.

Black and white film
Dancer at his peak
#Adroit in ways
Most could only dream
Gliding through space
As if gravity were
Merely a suggestion
Time caught up
Eventually
Unable to leap
And glide as he did
But til the end
He never lost
His inner grace
And style

My Career

So adroitly, I've evaded
all the open doors,
that, with vigour, has cascaded
gymnasts' wild applause.

His hands worked with #adroit precision. It seemed his hands were careful whether he was handling a sword or a safe. Magic teased at the ends of his fingers as he worked the lock. It clicked. He turned, his face full of mischief. She had to turn away before her face betrayed her thoughts.

It seems everyone wears their feelings on their sleeves these days. At one time, I was adroit in my assessment of emotional pain, but the cacophony of hurt has become more noise than symphony, so I cover my heart to shut it out.

Carol dabbed the corners of her mouth with a napkin. “Is there anything that man isn’t #adroit at?”

Lyn gazed wistfully out the window. “No…” she sighed. Then shook herself & started washing up. “I mean, I dunno. Probably.”

“Hmm,” said Carol, watching as a blush spread across Lyn’s cheeks. #vss365

All those years of repetitively playing with the Rubik’s cube had made her hands #adroit.

She spun the last dial and the safe swung wide. “We’re in boys.”

“One of the many reasons I married you. He passed her a sack and kissed her cheek. #vss365
