At dVerse Linda is hosting Poetics with an invitation to use any one of the eleven quotes from Breakfast At Tiffany’s by Truman Capote, as inspiration for a poem.
dVerse Poets – Poetics – Breakfast At Tiffany’s
I have chosen “Never love a wild thing …. if you let yourself love a wild thing, you’ll end up looking at the sky.” Truman Capote (Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Three Stories)

“Look at the blue of the sky and tell me why you held back?” Morrissey
Looking At The Sky No one likes stale bread or rancid butter, who would enjoy hours of a blank screen or to be stuck eternally in a check-out my vision of Dante's inferno as a living hell, routines as ruts, as dead ends, as graves, who wants vanilla, O please, nothing mild, give me something, someone wild and free who will cast off the fetters of the day and lie down together looking at the sky.

The crunching, jarring words lead to that effortless moment…of relaxation, staring up to the big blue…true philosophy there..
