Language is a slippery vehicle...

Both of the poems "The Problem of Describing Trees" and "Hubris at Zunzal" both make meaning by using metaphors and use objects that a reader can relate to, even though you may not completely understand. I found that both poems used language that made a picture in your mind while you were reading them. Language can be slippery vehicle because even though you may understand the meaning of a word, puting them together can be hard to naviagate. You have to make the reader understand what you want to convey and just because you may have words the order and organization can make the difference in the interputation.
