Keep it simple

verbosity and complexity in speech
mind-centric, puts heart out of reach
instead oh hermit, become like a flower
whose ineffable fragrance doth empower
without any effort employed on is part
sublime effervescence, a work of art

I agree with this. Too many poets think they need to be excessive with their alliteration and voluminous words. Point is that they miss out on the emotional elements and subtleties, as you so aptly describe it in this poem.
