I'm really bad with poetry... can somebody help me?

It is about reversal of roles, except that today the father is in the son's mind, I think. The most interesting aspects, technically, of this poem are the variations of off or close rhymes ("eye"/"exactly"; "sock"/"pluck"; "falling"/stumbling") which mimic the awkwardness of the movement the poems reenacts as well as the effective enjambements--"pluck / of reins"; "eye / narrowed"; "follow / in his broad shadow" (also an off internal rhyme) that dramatise the persistence of the son and, by implication at the end, of the father--the way in which they are edgily, closely, uncomfortably bound together--awkward and yet somehow loving, the love demonstrated by the similar sounds of the some of the language--"follow""shadow: again but also "dipping" and "rising" and "sod" and "sock." The whole thing is like a jumbly musical statement of what the poem is about. I guess I don't find it long-winded at all. The meter is effectively halting and yet forward-moving.
