That's sort of what I did. I'm not going to compromise my entire writing style just because one person thought that it was a little "too complex". However, I can make the language just a bit simpler for the sake of making the poem more accessible. That I have no problem doing. Part of my job is being able to reach out to the reader and say, "Do you know how I'm feeling?" If that involves modernizing the language a bit, then I will do that (or have done that in my most recent poems).
