A mountain was hope
on the plain of despair
when I got to the top
nobody was there
so what says's the devil
so what do you care
says I you know better
just like always it's dare

Dear Bill,

          I think it moves well, but that you have trouble bringing it home in the last line.  Where the last line should make everything snap together, here it allows the poem to diffuse.  Getting to the last line, however, was artful on your part.

     Sincerely, BobK.

Well I did originally finish it with

M F'r it's dare and it does have a nicer rhythm
but A little to crud for my taste even though an appropriate label for the prince of darkness
ya I'd say all around a better finish but I didn't want to go there here
