Good one raj
Certainly not too revealing. Indelible
I see the purpose of the pencil and it eraser vaguely but, potently expressed in the KEY words you chose. This sunku makes your minds eye work overtime to capture the three themes simultaneously. The key words express and emote depicts the purpose of pencil; eliminate depicts the eraser and echoes depicts indelible.

Lol
I express crazy well because People tend to misunderstand my Intention when I express my emotions. But I can write it well tho out of form lol.
I just didn’t get the emotions the way you expressed it in the poem. Like I said your poem was perfectly vague and I obviously after 10 years on here don’t get what the writer is always trying to convey. I can only can express what I see. I did that but as usual I’m off but I’m still right because it’s what I see. I now see what you are portraying which is also right...

The pencil
A virtually silent yet powerful tool. I believe the message of this Sunku depicts how we express our emotions, eliminate them thru using the pencil but the echo of those emotions remain. Good write, makes the reader think.
