THROWING THE STONES ON THE SEA SHORE

WRITING ON THE SAND AS I WAS GETTING BORE

AS I LOOKED AROUND I SAW A GUY

TO MY SURPRISE, HE WAVED AND SAID, "HI,"

I WAS SPEECHLESS, GLAD BUT LITTLE SHY

WITH THE SMILE HE CAME CLOSER BUT PASSED BY

TURNING AROUND AGAIN HE ASKED ME MY NAME

I TOLD HIM MY NAME AS MY HEART FELT SAME

EVERYDAY WE MET ON THE SAME SPOT

SPENDING HOURS EVEN THE WEATHER WAS  HOT

I WAITED ANXIOUSLY FOR THAT DAY 

WHEN HE`LL EXPRESS HIS LOVE IN HIS OWN WAY

MY PRAYERS GOT ANSWERED

TO MY JOY THERE WAS NO END

WHEN HE SAID YOU ARE MY FRIEND 

WELL,UMMM...MORE THAN A FRIEND!

HIS INTENSED EYES SHOWED HE NEEDED ME DESPERATELY

WHICH MADE ME LOST IN HIS LOVE AS HE HUGGED ME TIGHTLY.

what an adorable little poem here ^-^
Some suggestions:
Don't capitalize everything. It's kind of the same with italics, they express something to be stressed, so if you use them everywhere, nothing becomes important. Also, I read caps in a shouting voice, so I was shouting this the whole time xD

Minor revision nitpicks:
"WRITING ON THE SAND AS I WAS GETTING BORE"
I think you mean "bored" here.

"SPENDING HOURS EVEN THE WEATHER WAS HOT"
There's just a few extra spaces between 'was' and 'hot'

"MY PRAYERS GOT ACCOMPLISHED"
This just doesn't flow right.
Try, "my prayers were ever answered" or something like that

"MY PRAYERS GOT ACCOMPLISHED TO MY JOY THERE WAS NO END"
Break this up.
"My prayers <were ever answered>,/
To my joy, there was no end"

"WHEN HE SAID YOU ARE MY FRIEND UMMM!! MORE THAN A FRIEND"
Some punctuation changes and added syllables to make the flow easier:
"When he said you are my friend,/
<Well>, umm...more than a friend!"

"WHICH MADE ME LOST IN HIS LOVE AND HE HUGGED ME TIGHTLY."
"Which made me lost in his love/
<As> he hugged me tightly"

The backslashes I use are just to make sure you know when to enter down, in case it doesn't show up right when I submit this review.
I kind of like how everything is clumped together; it adds to the effect that this is a 'madly-in-love' young woman who probably can't keep her thoughts straight.

Overall good job. Very cute:)
Oh, and welcome to YWS! Let me know if you need anything or have questions here!

thanks iron for taking out time honey i would want to ask you how should i correct these following stanzas

"WRITING ON THE SAND AS I WAS GETTING BORE"
I think you mean "bored" here.

"SPENDING HOURS EVEN THE WEATHER WAS HOT"
There's just a few extra spaces between 'was' and 'hot'

i didnt understand ur suggesstion here.


further i would say i just feel little confused how should i break the sentences because everything is just going in a flow help me to do it!!! where u think its approp


thanks

sure thing. In the first line you mentioned, change 'bore' to 'bored'. In the second line, you added an extra space after 'was'. As far as the flow, that's up to you. Enter down into a new line/stanza when you feel there's a slight pause or break in the piece.

Wow, this could be much better with stanzas. Use (Shift + Return/Enter) to separate stanzas. The rest are pretty much fine. Now I only focus on this particular line. I'll make a few changes and you shall be able to apply them to the rest.

TO MY SURPRISE HE WAVED AND SAID HI


This could change a lot and make a big difference. I'll retype this same sentence again and again, but each one is slowly growing changes. Hopefully you will be able to cope with it.

1. Do not capitalise all of them.

To my surprise he waved and said hi


2. Punctuation.

To my surprise, he waved and said, "Hi,"


3. Directions.

To my surprise, he waved at me and said, "Hi,"


4. Adjectives.

To my surprise, he waved at me and beautifully said a, "Hi,"


5. 'actually'

To my surprise, he actually waved at me and beautifully said, "Hi,"


6. Stanzas.

To my surprise,
he actually waved at me,
and beautifully said "Hi,"


7. One more line into your stanza.

To my surprise,
he actually waved at me,
and beautifully said "Hi,"
I could never have said goodbye.


8. Cut too long words.

To my surprise,
he actually waved at me,
and said "Hi,"
I couldn't say bye.


9. Change to rhyme.

To my surprise,
he waved, it was nice,
he said, "Hi,"
I couldn't say bye.


I hope you could get along the way. Thank you.
