Mountain View

I have climbed the highest mountains and seen the world spread out before me as a prize to be won. Not with deeds of strength and valor, but with words of charity and love. I am not interested in conquering en masse, just one by one.

Hi J. Summers, Nice clear mountain poem. Good job. Well done. Thank you for vising my short story site. I could not respond back to you from it. , Thank you for commenting. Glad you enjoyed my crime story. You are right. It doesn't pay to mess with old folks but it does pay to listen and crime never pays, even to this day. Have a great day. Thanks again, Earl
