The point of the tree poem is that the author could not find the right words to describe the movement of the tree. He tried dance but that failed because he later said "Dance with me, dancer. Oh, I will" and that failed to compare to the tree. Next he used the word capitalized which doesn't make sense whatsoever. The author visualized an aspen tree in the wind but could not express it to his satisfaction. This shows that the argument is that there are times that visuals take the place of words and are needed for certain times. Poetry failed the poet and I am sure that he would rather be a photographer right now.
The lines stated above are located third line from the bottom in italics. They are put into this format to adequately describe the exact reason that the word dance for trees was not compatible. In the last line he refuses to name exactly what the tree is doing. "The aspen doing something in the wind."
