Revision Help Please

Dog Tags

“Hey Dad, can I have your dog tags?”
                They’re from when his colors were scarlet and gold
                And his language was “Semper Fi”
                His weapon the mameluke
                And his favorite dress blues

“Hey Dad, can I have your dog tags?”
                Tin chips on a ball link chain
                Twin chips tarnished from deployment pain
                Tin chips indented with Dad’s name
                Twin chips punched with Dad’s (infamous) fame

“Hey Dad, can I have your dog tags?”
                “Hahaha, no.”
                “Please?”
                “For what?”
                “Because I want them.”

Hey Dad, can I have your dog tags?
                They’re tags stained with blood and gold,
                They’re tags punched with your name and tears.
                They’re tags tarnished from gunsmoke and sweat,
                They’re tags, not for a dog, but for a sergeant Dad.

I’ve gotten feedback on this saying I should lengthen the poem, and I should probably revise the dialogue section. I’ve also gotten a comment saying the last stanza’s too repetitive, especially when compared to the earlier stanzas.

I would love to have more feedback, if you’ve got anything…:<

Maybe Not a Writer

I can’t do this poetry thing
because I am dumb.
I am a dumbo
and I can’t seem to read poetry like others can. I can’t write it either. Because I’m stupid.
It’s a fact.
I’m a dumbo and I can’t do poetry.
I’m a writer but I’m not a poet.
I can write a story but I can’t write a lyrical line.
I can read a fable but I can’t read across ethnic lines or identities.
I know how to fix up a piece of fiction:
     Describe this image
          Put some dialogue here
               Change your syntax there
                    Now make your setting manifest
But poetry?
Can’t do it for a damn.
Because I’m a writer but not a poet.
     I guess I’m not a writer after all…

realcleverscience: plantmoretrees: slychedelic: “A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” - Albert Einstein  All sorts of awesome here. And for those into boating over biking, check out this awesomeness. Zoom

The High Medusa

Empress of the Deep
High Queen Medusa
Water-clear,
Sun-light,
where no light reaches.
In her embrace
sleeps infant Death
In her succulent form
dances cuttlefish currents
sings stingray Syrens,
screaming to you
calling to you
To sleep with the High Queen.
Float with the Medusa
and to Mother’s womb,
finally return.
