I think I have been reading the poem wrong. I really started seeing the deep energy he put in his work. I don't think it's supposed to be read as a nice sunny days outing or a hop skip and jump to the chest and back to your car until after he gives you the title to the gold, in both Senses. But first the riddle has to be solved and it's like the poem is going to be solved before you have the chest and that's how you know for sure the title to the gold before you even see it. The poem is straight forward in both Senses but first and foremost you have to imagine that this is a spooky eerie treasure hunt dealing with death, bones, and imagination what Forrest has said about passing away with his secret and imagine him leaving his bones. So if he had his way someone would find his bones/skeleton sitting there holding the treasure chest all covered in cobwebs and ooooscary. I think the only way to know where this would take place is he has us do some spooky things following the correct solution just to figure out the correct place. And yes it's straight forward as can be when you know it. I feel strongly that a cemetery is involved but only to read a epitaph ( not a note) on a marker or memorial. I think there's a solve that gives you the solve. It's a treasure hunt not a fun hike over the hills and through the woods to grandmother's house. I could be wrong or I see something new.

People have solved some clues and were close. FF said he doesn't think they knew it. He says he doesn't know how they arrived at that.
I think you can solve it by chance the original way. But there is another way to know for sure. Right? There's got to be? The original way of thinking is a game of chance. FF said Nobody is going to happen on that treasure chest. You're gonna have to figure out the clues in the poem and go to it.

While Forrest thinks nobody is going to happen on the treasure, and we will have to figure out the clues to find it, from his other comments, I think it suggests that unless you arrive to the location by following the clues, you wouldn't realize 'where' a treasure is hidden. You wouldn't know to look for it there.
The comments made by Forrest that you won't know you have the clues correct until the chest is in hand, suggests the 'solution to the poem' is based on interpreting it correctly. There isn't an unmistakable 'code' to break that reveals exactly where the chest is.

I was moreso agreeing with you, but asking a question in statement form..... the question being if that is what others think too?

I was moreso agreeing with you, but asking a question in statement form..... the question being if that is what others think too? I think most have heard "the poem is straight forward with no subterfuge" and those statements along with "marry to a map" make most searchers minds up instantly that the only way to the end is a simple way by named places and that could be considered a shortcut in Forrest's mind. If Forrest had a map and knew where he wanted to secret his treasure beforehand and with his brilliant mind, why 15 years drafting the poem? The secret is the poem in a whisper form. I read others post and some searching do realize it has a deeper meaning. I have spent this morning pouring over your six questions throughout the years and what I'm finding is that the one and only solution is in the poem and we must first decipher what the clues meanings are before we trek out. Like he said over and over everything we need is in the poem, him telling people that haven't deciphered the clues and are searching to go back to the poem. He said all that is needed is the poem and imagination and that by guessing one will have a thin wallet without treasure. So the answer is the poem being understood correctly. To his uncertain knowledge nobody has analyzed one possibly to a winning solve. I'm deep thinking about that possibility with tight focus. Sorry for rambling about everything you already know Jenny.
