Simple and direct or overcomplicated for the sake of novelty. Since poetry can be more about those things than making rational points, I don't see why either is worse than the other. So far, this poem seems like the simple and direct, which could easily be a bit more complex using only linebreaks and word choice rather than more words and lines. But that would be getting further from short and direct.
