Banjo Casto Poem
The wonder of the dawning sun
Is majestic to behold
Ribbons surrounding trees and cliffs
In tones of flame and gold
Here, dazzling beams illuminate
A passage through the sea
Coloring the radiant crest
In warm serenity
A gentle time to plead for hope
As quickly fades its light
Where etched silhouettes blend and merge
Enkindling rise of night.

Banjo Casto Poem
I desire nothing from you
just let me watch you wake with the sun
laugh with the rustle of the wind
that messes your auburn hair
that, my dear little one,
is enough to take me through
the years. And the memory
of all this combined shall take
me far through forever---
After you have gone riding on a star.

Banjo Casto Poem
The sweat pours down from
tank tops and t-shirts,
preposterously loud screams explode
on the baseball field around them.
Drink it all in for a win that's more
than a glory of the game
by those who long for excitement
and the possibility of league's trophy.
The raucous crowd of spring flock together
their arms flinging outrageous signals ,
with high pitched hurrah, as bats fly off
to gaily rattle, “Oh, my! Go get 'em!”
when men become boys of spring's home-run!

gush of wind passing
as leaves open frazzled reams--

frozen twigs roll on chilled aisle
barren trees now elderly,
exposing a season's lash---

Banjo Casto Poem
Sunset dips from a bay’s view
Its pulp so tangerine clear--
Releasing a minty froth.
As her crown bleeds on water
I watch a hazy profile--
A faded memory now
Tearing my chilling nightfall.

eve of devotion
inspires an intimate plea
entwined in its notes
prayers wrapped in light music...
sealing hearts' intercession

Banjo Casto Poem
Waterfalls cascade down mountaintops
Huddling stones gathering fine crop
A pastoral reel where man can't drop
Just watching the view from eye's knobs

Banjo Casto Poem
the glare of noontime
scorches young August petals
rain taps on wild blooms---
and summer cools her flamed heat
to gently fondle morn’s dew
