Haha, I know what you mean -- I teach adult literacy and it's very confusing stuff, especially when people have trouble even identifying verbs. I'm constantly reminded of how lucky I am that this sort of thing comes fairly easily to me.
I do think it's very important in poetry to consider how even the smallest words act in a line/sentence. We have only a small space in which to convey maximum meaning, so word choice is absolutely vital.
