The metaphors here are

"Febo's back from Nam"

Which that so is not the case, as Febo died, thefore it remembers.

"The rain fell heavy
on the swollen rice paddy field.
The mound of dirt forming the dike
could have prevented the kill."

The rain that fell is thought that it should feel of the grief that was felt for Fedo, and that singular regret of the hour, dirt and dike and that which was to have been, not that which got Fedo.

For more details: If there was something to be done to save him, there was dirt.

"Febo's legacy a tableau
that stamped in my mind."

The ground of grinding or soul chilling scenary more blaring then the depth of everyday.

Maybe there's more, but then maybe the story matters more then the metaphor from which some tap

Do you have to use this poem? It's really straight forward and there are no metaphors in there. He describes everything as it is rather than using word trickery to describe his surroundings.

Do you have another poem you can use? I can suggest a few if you don't.

Like the first person said, this is kind of a straightforward poem. The blades of grass could be a symbol for life I guess, but that's all I got out of it. However, if I could recommend one of my personal favorites, "Oh Captain, My Captain" by Walt Whitman, I think it would work for what you need. (It's a poem that symbolically tells the story of the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln's assassination). Hope this helps!
