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.

I agree...verbosity & complexity of speech is the ego 'showing off.'
