Knowing your audience is important in some forms of writing, but for poetry it is hard to know your audience ahead of time... some of the best poems last long after the poet is dead... it's safe to say they didn't know their audience.
I think you need to know your subject, and have your words match your subject.... but trying to talk down to a specific audience seems implausible.
