Rubber Shavings

[TranquillityBase]

All the violent strokes
that attacked the page,
reduced to rubber shavings
by morning

but their imprints remain.

I suggest your title be something like "Drawn", so that a reader like me may understand that you were drawing. The word also has multiple meanings. That bit of clarity would immediately reveal that you were not writing, as writing with a pencil does not suggest "strokes." No need for the title to appear in the poem, and this one is not about "rubber shavings" really- it's about the "violent strokes" and "imprints", for me, at least.

Interesting, I took it as writing.  Strokes seems like a "writing" word to me.  If the title needs to change, and I think it would be good to save rubber shavings for the poem, I'd suggest "rub out" or "effacement".
