Sketchpad Lullaby

 

The world is all of yours to draw,

A breadth beyond your veins.

Each breath you take, a step you make

To drive your treasures, reined:

 

Your logic and a dripping brush

Upon a mirror pool,

Dipping where those fall in place,

Your arcs and your slide rule.

 

Your needle and a nimble thread

That prick a harvest ripe,

Sow and sew of all you need

And nothing more, that type.

 

Someday, like me, you'll turn a page

Upon a canvas world,

This world you shade in all its shades,

Says an oyster to its pearl.

 

Question: Would it be grammatically incorrect if I said "your needle and a nimble thread / that pricks a harvest ripe"? That's how I originally wrote it, but I want to be sure.

you could either (ugg this sounds snobby):


your needle and a nimble thread/ PRICK a harvest...   (2 subjects)


your needle and a nimble thread/ THAT pricks a harvest ripe... (just modifying the thread)


nice poem :]

@allhailpigs - Ahh...I see. So I should keep it as is. After all, adding a word would kill the flow. Thanks for letting me know!
