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.
all this useless beauty... but what the hell, why not?
