If you are brave and in the wood I give you title to the gold.So hear me all and listen good, Your effort will be worth the cold.The answers I already know, I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak.So why is it that I must go And leave my trove for all to seek?.If you’ve been wise and found the blaze, Look quickly down, your quest to cease, But tarry scant with marvel gaze, Just take the chest and go in peace.From there it’s no place for the meek, The end is ever drawing nigh There’ll be no paddle up your creek, Just heavy loads and water high.Begin it where warm waters halt And take it in the canyon down, Not far, but too far to walk.As I have gone alone in there And with my treasures bold, I can keep my secret where, And hint of riches new and old.So I wrote a poem containing nine clues that if followed precisely, will lead to the end of my rainbow and the treasure: How is that list usually formatted? Bullet points. In The Thrill of the Chase, Fenn introduces us to the poem we are to follow to find the treasure he sets the poem up with a lead-in sentence that ends with a colon. Identifying which is correct isn't possible when you're starting the solve what is possible is to look at the options, then keep them in mind as you're working on the solve - so that when something does "fit" you can then play with that concept within the framework of that piece of the poem. Or is he bringing up the concept of forgiveness or grace?

Since I started trying to solve the poem, I've looked to identify patterns in what Fenn writes and says, and he frequently says the same things, again and again as if making a point because he knows no one understood what he's been trying to say.
