This piece is proof a poem doesnt always need college-level vocabulary to be amazing. Although it's always nice/essential to learn new words, it feels good to be able to read a great poem without consulting my dictionary every other line. Perhaps I just need to learn more but thanks for sharing tho

Just for the record: I use a very limited vocabulary in all my poems; common words,
mostly single syllable and hardly ever three. I do this because I like the aesthetic simplicity it
lends to the poem. Using simple words, by the way, does not limit you to simple concepts.
