Bub is a bugs bunny reference. Maybe "doc" would be better?
The repetition on "my brother" must've been a mistaken thought that "brother, my brother" is a common emphatic structure.
Lastly, I'm not familiar with the no-caps school of thought. I'll research the standard practice here in the States, but I'll lowercase on this forum from here on out.
After-lastly, the feedback, here, is non-suggestive. That is, there's nothing for me to work with in "what's with the X?" I'm happy to follow a guide, but there's no guide here, just a take-that kind of critique.
I googled "brother, my brother," and it is certainly a common emphatic structure.
Common structure or not, poetry does not strive to be common: you want an economy of words—say little, mean much.
