Notes About The Poem

Peanut Brittle Eight Word Challenge 5

Peanut brittle broken in tiny pieces
The immutable desire drove him forward
There was no interlude from the increases
Of his huge appetite sketched out straightforward
It was with formidable search for words
To describe how so a tenuous man decreases
The candy dish's immutable contents rearward
Not demurely but open-faced stuff'n eases
Bereft of the peanut brittle crunch, I fast forward
At least by his fast consumption, I'm honored  

Totally made up even though my family can consume 
that peanut brittle when I make it like it was water
rolling down..

Tenuous here means slender
Sketch here means drawn out or described
