A Word that is Key

In Jenny's six questions on Feb. 4, 2014:

"It is interesting to know that a great number of people are out there searching. Many are giving serious thought to the clues in my poem, but only a few are in tight focus with a word that is key. The treasure may be discovered sooner than I anticipated."

A word that is key.

Key.

It turns out there are nine (9) synonyms for "key" in the poem:

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.

Begin it where warm waters halt 
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk. 
Put in below the home of Brown.

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. 

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.

So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answers I already know,
I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak. 

So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.

NINE WORDS THAT ARE "KEY"

Secret + hint + put in + draw + heavy + load + answers + hear + cold

Secret hint put in drawing heavy load answers hear cold.
