This poem by our friend @bennettitalia captured my attention with the strong visuals like

Vanquishing his antagonists
With grapevines
Twined through pure white sails
And tall masts
Carefully
Like lovers' fingers
Wet
Slick
Purple
Sweet tasting bloodstains

He uses concise, strong language to pull us effortlessly into his self-described "stream of consciousness" poem relying on the tactile senses, visuals and draws us into the deep emotions driven by this vision.

I chose this poem because it pulls us through the musings of a child, then dips into the emotive experience of adults and leaving us with a taste of beauty at the poems end.
