comparing poems

I really enjoyed reading these two poems, i loved how Hass described that there is a limit on words that can be used to describe things, trees and nature included. I enjoyed reading it also because it made me realize that although there are endless ways to think about trees and describe them in our heads, there are only so many words to use. This poem is connected to the other poems in that there is a different way to look at using language. It points out there there needs to be thought out behind writing. It also explains that once the words are out of your mouth, or on that paper there is no taking it back, it will forever be there. Both poems are describing the use of the language we have and how we can use it as a tool, and exactly what we can do with it.
