Simple Pimple

Pop the zit that is festering on your brain, making you think that simple is a bad thing. Sometimes simple is good. Plain no, simple yes. Here is an example.

"Love, unyielding flower, hearts desire this hour.
Under spells and mysteries, craving this power."

Simple rhyme scheme, simple words, nothing extravagant. Powerful imagery can still be crafted with small words, not to give an impression that you shouldn't use complex words either.  Keep it simple when you want to engage the reader on a more personal level without making them think as much about the poem as you do about the idea or thing behind the poem.

Conveying the idea passionately is the most important thing in poetry, can you strike a balance?
