Thanks Ẃeβ࿚ẂỉԎḈĥ and StephBee (bravehearts both) - I hope Jimmy is a legit suspect, I've had him aid and abet you there!
Prompt is too long for my myopic eyes to plod though, so just picked a name I saw!
You can remove the numbers.
Choose one or more suspects from the list. (Since StephBee and WW, aren't characters in the mystery scenario.)
You still have time to edit!

My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.
THE POEM
The poem talks about how a mountain can challenge us.
WHAT I LIKED
I liked the positive message of the mountain. Some people may think of mountains as hard to overcome, but if one buckles down and puts their mind to it, they overcome any mountain that's in their way.
STRUCTURE
This is a diamante poem. The rules involve having 7 seven lines, first and last line, just one word which is a noun, 2nd and 6th lines, 2 words which are adjectives, 3rd and 5th lines have 3 words which are verbs, 4th line has 4 words - nouns. Diamantes don't have to play hard by the rules, but they should take the shape of a diamond.
MECHANICS
I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. Good use of WDC ML to increase the font and make it easier to read on WDC.
DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptive words blend in words you expect to find like "massive" and "unsurmountable," but also those words associated with emotional mountains like "anxiety" "resolve," and I really enjoyed how the poet made the subtle connection there with the physical and the emotional.
PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS
The opening sets the stage for the poem. I enjoyed the emotional approach to the poem - it helped to make it personal. The poem followed the prompt and used one of the following words: mountain, beach, or forest. Good luck in the Bard's Hall Contest.
