Poetry, by its very nature, makes demands on a writer who attempts to analyze it that other forms of literature do not. One of the best ways to express one s thoughts is to pen a beautiful poem.
When I use to read a poem, and I assume when many people do read a poem, and when I do read a poem myself, nowadays, besides my own, I like most people want to know what the heck it means. 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. Identify the verse grouping you will use for your poem.
Remember, she is not looking for a great piece of poetry nor does she visualize you as a great poet. You will know it when you find it. A poem for the deceased that prompts that thought is invaluable after a loved one has died.
I have always allowed myself to be led wherever my intuition leads me in the moment. What a treasure the poem will be.
