Forrest Fenn, the Poem, and Use of a Thesaurus – Mysterious Writings. To understand what Forrest Fenn is exactly referring to in his poem, which leads a person to his hidden treasure chest filled with over a million dollars’ worth of gold and other valuable jewels, is the key to finding his treasure.  Both a Dictionary and a Thesaurus may be helpful in expanding a searcher’s thoughts for this. Forrest has chosen his words carefully.  He said he took 1. In the preface of his book, The Thrill of the Chase, he states, “I tend to use some words that aren’t in the dictionary, and others that are, I bend a little.”  Although this statement was more in reference to his book, since the poem is in the book, we can assume he might have bent some words in the poem.

A perfect example of him twisting word meanings is found in an answer to a question asked in Questions with Forrest on this site.  It is as follows: Mr. Fenn, Would you want the person that finds your treasure to admire the place where it rests? Andrew. Well Andrew, I’m not sure “admire” is the right word but if we twist it a little maybe we can make it work. The word means approval or high regard. So it works. I sure feel that way or I would not have hidden it there. I like the way you think Andrew. Looking into a Thesaurus may help us realize the many different meanings a word can take on and how Forrest may have used or bent them.  Below are my notes I took on some of the main words used in the poem.  It is not a comprehensive list, and is only meant to spur the mind.  The list helps remind me the subtle uses and variations word meanings can have and then be used.  I hope to share a ‘definition of words’ post later.  This can get even more interesting.

I know we each follow our own pathways in attempt to discover the final resting place of Forrest’s treasure. The following is only an example of a mere side path I like to stroll along once in a while; to maybe offer support for a main path I might be working on. Each time I read the list, different thoughts arise.  Just today, as I was copying it over for this post, the synonym for ‘secret’ caught my attention.  One of the synonyms for ‘secret’ is ‘underground’.  Applied this way, the poem might actually imply or be bent to say the ‘secret where’ or the ‘location of the treasure’ is ‘underground’.  Maybe not ‘buried’, but underground like in a cave or crevice.
