SORRY (Puzzle Poetry)

Once
A climber used numbered stones
To reach the pate of a mountain
He neglected the unbypassable 1
And realized 4 was closer than 2
…so used it
Then he stepped on 2
…to get to 5
But slipped onto 3
Determined,
…he stretched and jumped on 7
…slipped and forced himself on 6
He then comfortably climbed onto 8
…and then onto 9
But somehow slipped
…only to end up on the 1 he neglected
Some word builder used his steps
…to build an art in a puzzle
…by going through an unending cycle
…from beginning to end
He who follows can easily unpuzzle
