That's my very own opinion, but most of those words (I picked quickly and without examining context much) should only and without exception be used, if you want to express the special meaning it has, if you fully stand by the image it creates, because it is necessary and important.
If not use more everyday language and more "lines".
I can understand, personally, the artistic value of deliberate lines where the writer has used small words and made meaning of it, but usually my poems are quite a bit more abstract then that, as I usually just write them from the top of my head - for me it's more of a source of emotional output.

When I write, I'm usually hunched over my keyboard, eyes closed, fingers hammering into the keyboard and just tearing what I'm feeling out of my head and putting it to word. I don't usually pay much attention to it until after I've written it.

I prefer most of the time to just get it out and present it, as it feels more honest to myself to do that instead of paying attention to structure and consistent use of vocabulary.

Though some of my poems are written differently, like this one, which has considerabley shorter words:

Although that still has a handful of words over five letters. But it's much more deliberate.
