I like my boring style for the simple reason that it makes it easier for me to read. Andy Warhal(sp) Soup Can poetry you could call it. But while not comparing myself to Plath at all, I have book of her poetry and many of them have that same style.
I think the best way to write poetry is a lot like photography and even writing a paper in school, it isn't about getting it right at the start. It is about writing enough so you can go back and pick out the gems.
I am also not a fan of complexity and codedness of a poem being a standard. It still has a message and is meaningless if people don't get it. You can be coded and that is fine too, but it still amounts to the reader getting it.
