He compares the poem to the moon, mainly because of the moon's slow, and gracious movement on the sky. According to the poet, "<span>Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves" is the description of how the poem should slowly and carefully flow to the end, just like the moon during a winter night. Poem should be motionless - should capture reader's attention, and entangle him in it completely. </span>
The theme being presented was think twice before you say anything. I think this was the theme because, the grasshopper could not be responsible of getting food, and the ants did not want to give their food. So the theme was think twice before you say anything.
