the best poems are poems that can be understood on multiple levels. If you start using jargon or/and overtly fanciful language you kinda limit your poems ability to speak to all audiences.
Also... your poems vocabulary should match your poems topic. It's kind of distracting when it doesn't. I think in general, using fancy words in poems is a choice driven by a romantic view of what poetry is.
Poetry is shit generally. Short and simple. People try to put a shine on it and end up smearing it everywhere.
