“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
I forgot the rest of the recipe.”
“Here lies Stretch, who slipped on some slime,
fell off a cliff and didn’t equip a grapple in time.”

I like that one a lot! (And other ones are cool too).
The Reapers’ Trials killed Paka dead
What remains of her lies here
Her body to lava repeatedly fed…
Only ashes left, we fear!

I bet all competitors would be ready to feed me free poetry. 
The prizes are small, symbolic if you like, and are not there to motivate more players to take part, rather to add a social angle and something nice to the time I spend finishing the cemetery project (even a chance to meet players in game to hand the prizes is something I would look forward to, something different than constant mining, building or crafting).
So, I would love for all awarded to accept the humble gifts and use the occasion to visit and meet me when the time comes.
saw a runner it was fast
shot my bow , had a blast
grappled it and didn’t know
lava has an undertow

Paka with her grapple would fly
Through the skies with ease
But a simple mistake caused her to die
So dear reader, we beg you, please:
Release not too early from your grappling that
You too not perish with an embarrassing splat

Runners laughing all around
I dare not utter any sound

Can’t outrun a runner mate

Row by row the graves were filled.
To create his undead army was his will.
Back and forth to hell he goes.
To get his payment of your souls.

Thank you all for your witty rhymes. 
It was hard to chose those 4 epitaphs, but I finally made some tough choices and these are the verses that has just got their place in the Ashenvale Cemetery. I made a few tiny changes here and there for rhythm reasons and also slightly changed @Alwin 's idea for name on the tombstone, while adding names to the epitaphs that were written without them.
I encourage all authors to visit the cemetery to find your own rhymes there (go to Ultima Hub on Lutrion and then walk straight West) and meet me to collect their prizes (no matter how insignificant they might seem), exchange "boom-boo ee-ee-wah’s or do some fancy moves. 
@anon52472533 - I appreciate your offer to use your epitaphs for free but I still would love to meet you too and hand over a few items and coin, if you don’t mind to visit the Cemetery and meet me there.
It’s very likely that I will come back to this thread and use a few more epitaphs when I expand the cemetery and build a few more tombs. I will let you know when that happens.
