Ghairo Daniels Poet Verse

After the Touch

7 lines /7syllables
______________


she was touched by a phantom

becoming a phantom too

both boarded coral carriage
 
wheels grate cobble streets in mist

opera seats were waiting
 
then to swirl on dancing floor

she relished escaping hours

Sotto Poet July 25, 2025 at 5:22 AM What a stunning piece. Imagine being pulled along by a coral carriage! Impressive work. This particular one has a smart title: such a brilliant concept, the ghost. The "coral carriage" and "opera seats" conjure up a fantastical world that is at once terrifying and alluring. Ghairo Daniels July 26, 2025 at 2:29 AM Aah, Sotto ! Your feedback is always so beautiful & positive. ThkU mucho. Have a blessed night/day.x.

Rowena Velasco July 23, 2025 at 4:24 AM Ghairo, this piece is hauntingly beautiful—rich with atmosphere and mystery. The imagery of the “coral carriage” and “opera seats” paints a dreamlike escape that feels both eerie and enchanting. I love how it blends the ghostly with the elegant. A truly evocative and poetic journey. Ghairo Daniels July 23, 2025 at 5:03 AM Very kind & detailed comment, for a short piece, Rowena. ThkU! Much light to U. X.
