This poem's rhyme scheme really made it a difficult read for me. Some of the rhymes seem forced, and some near/slant rhymes contrast all the other perfect rhymes, although i do see how it could be a perfect rhyme depending on the reader's accent. The meter is also off in a few places.
"A harvest moon one week prior,
had filled the barn to top, no higher."
some on said they didn't under stand how a moon can fill a barn, but I understood this as the "harvest moon" just being a way of saying the hay filled the barn. Overall your concepts come though very clear, but the meter and rhyming do not support you subject mater and tone in my opinion.
