Before anything was written down even, in ancient times, poetry was a gift given from one person to the next and was greatly appreciated as it displayed thoughtfulness and intellect. First, when you analyze a poem, it is best to use present tense rather than past tense for your verbs.
There are some key elements in composing and developing the poetic form. If you were very close to the person who died and you are expected to stand up in church or at the graveside to recite a poem, make sure that you have a supporter. It will be a compliment to the bond that you share with her.
The secret they will never know if you wrote the poem, or had someone else do it for you, so make sure you find a romantic love poem. Several different line rhyming patterns can be used especially if your poem will be a Quatrain. To add a poem to your eulogy or condolence letter, first you must consider who the person was and what they would have appreciated or enjoyed read.
Forget all that stuff you learned in school and just write. I have always allowed myself to be led wherever my intuition leads me in the moment.
