Emily Watson once said that the heart speaks the language of love that is best expressed by poems. Poems have been written about nearly every topic under the sun, and next to love and death, friendship poems are among the most commonly read, written, and shared in the world.
When a poet feels close to someone, a natural response is to write a poem. It is true that publishers of poetry are about as plentiful as wheat fields in the Arctic, but there are other avenues for your poetry that can allow you to publish your material in unique and memorable ways. Some of the best funeral poems only need to be read once for you to see your loved one in them, don't try to read too much into any one poem, you may just be forcing the verse into how others saw the deceased, the funeral poems should feel natural.
Not only that, a love poem is written by a person who is immersed in love and imagines that his world revolves around that special person only. Missing a loved one after death can be a difficult time. Perhaps you can extract some meaning from the lines that hit home, and perhaps the poem is crap to start out with, so go find a poet you like.
What a treasure the poem will be. Select a main theme for the Poem and start writing.
