8 Line Challenge For Eric Boddie

Please help me inspire us all

PLEASE KEEP IT GOING
by:  All of Us

Eight lines at a time
I don't care if you do or do not rhyme
I just want to see your skill
That's just me keeping it real
I feel this selection will be epic
But it has us all, that was expected
So Please copy this and paste your hearts to it
It doesn't matter where you find it, please let's all just do it  (goodest aka eric l boddie)

Response by Jan Allison

I cannot spend the time
to sit and write in rhyme
I've so many words to say
Not enough hours in the day
Your humour makes me smile
I really love your style 
This challenge you have set 
I'm the first to take the bet

aww am blushing now James I just write from the heart and hope people like my style I can't believe how I've thrived in 18 months - without writing I don't think I would have got through - it was simply meant to be that I was introduced to the site - and look where its taken me now! hugs Jan xx
