I wrote her a poem.

Le escribi un poema a ella.

I need to put the a ella in there to clarify that it is a her right?

if so, is it correct to put it at the end of the sentence?

That is the correct place to put it, and it is correct to say it that way. (But you need a tilde on escribí.)

You may not technically need the "a ella" if the context makes that part clear.

Pepsi, It sounds great that way. And yes "a ella" goes at the end of the sentence. The sentence is correct either with or without the additional phrase..... it would depend on the context and whether the clarification was neccesary. smile
