Poetry: Reflections from The Rooftoppers

Hello everyone!

Here is a recent poem I wrote based on the novel, 'The Rooftoppers' by Katherine Rundell. For fellow cello lovers, musicians, or just readers in general, it's a fun read with an amazing voice and a keen sense of imagination.You should check it out! Thanks!

above the sleeping city,
atop the rooftops where
a girl looks for her mother
as her cello plays somewhere.

her heart is pounding faster,
her feet can scarce keep pace
the dreams of her existence
were to come now face to face.

perhaps this was the moment,
her body quaked and shivered.
she'd finally meet the woman
who released her to the river.

~Abigail
