Is there any way to describe what in the world an allele is in very simple, easy to understand terms? "Alternate forms of a gene" means nothing to me.

Do you not understand the word "alternate"?  That's a simple word.

If this is one sequence observed in a population:

AACTGTACTATGTGAT

and this sequence is also observed in the population

AACTGTATTATGTGAT

then the population has two different alelles at that point in the genome.
