The mood of the poem "In My Shyness" by Jason Yarkie is reflective. The poem is about the personality of the narrator, and it describes the different aspects of their timidity and the advantages and disadvantages created by the 'shell' it provides. The narrator spends the entirety of the poem reflecting on their own shyness, and prompts the reader to ponder it as well.
The theme is that one should prioritize work before leisure. The ants did this and prepared for the winter, while the grasshopper did not and started having troubles because of this.
