Explanation:

A simple sentence has only one independent clause. (Subject + Verb)

A complex sentence is an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses using subordinating conjunctions.

A compound sentence has two independent clauses joined using coordinating conjunctions.

A compound-complex sentence has two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Coordinating conjunctions are FANBOYS:

F = for

A = and

N = nor

B = but

O = or

Y = yet

S = so

There is actually a long list of Subordinating conjunctions that can determine if it is a Complex sentence, comment below if you want it.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover". 

caminas makes the most sense here since it means to walk.
