Well, the moth that fell into the flame was the female gold moth not the
grey moth. So I feel like she was looking for someone or something more
beautiful and captivating. She didn't find it in the dull grey moth, even
though he would be waiting there for her "until the break of day". She
found what she was looking for in the end...but not what she expected.
That's my understanding of this.

I think the poem represents the thing which we desire and the thing which
we take for granted. In this case its love. The gold moth was beatiful and
vain. We all seek beautiful things. Yet the "ugly duckling" demonstrated
her love "until the break of day" and the guy moth neglected her because
she didn't fit his criteria. The gray moths death indicates fixation on the
unattainable which results in her own demise.

This poem is about a moth falling into a flame- obviously the exterminator
had been hunting the moth for a while and then finally got the best of it.

WOW!!! i love this poem. I think it means that someone might have taken the
wrong road for awhile and reached a dead end and they couldn't turn back.

i think this poem symbolizes what happens to a person when they chase
something that is already gone and die mentally/physically because they are
so heart-broken.
