Lula Pickering

1887 – 1906


Have you seen my bluebirds today?
Have you fed them a few crumbs of stale rye bread?
I must have taken a hundred walks as a young girl
In search of my freewheeling friends.

'Soldier's Cadence'

A father's pride, a mother's delight, life progresses  
Elastic hugs, warming comfort, floating dark.
Dreamy days, muted sounds, soft caresses.

As a child I spent hours
sitting at the old soda
fountain, drinking my
chocolate malt only
25 cents was the cost.

While old shep my
favorite dog of all

for me, while I read
all the comics on
the comic rack.

Keeps telling me she doesn’t have...

A politician in name, a president so soft.
His people call him "nine-fingered Lula",
An image of a man with much to prove, much to suffer.

He abstained...

Lady, sing me a lullaby
Sing me a lullaby,
As lula goes by.

I still remember those old good days
And sad moments,
I still fell the pains and shade the tears of the sights and whispers.
