...wrote her a poem quickly

I wrote her a poem quickly, and then left the building.

I read that you should place an adverb of manner after the direct object. In the sentence above, is 'her a poem' considered the direct object of wrote? If so, is the placement of 'quickly' correct?

Hi,

I read that you should place an adverb of manner after the direct object. In the sentence above, is 'her a poem' considered the direct object of wrote? 'Poem' is the direct object. It is what I wrote. 'Her' (ie 'for her') is the indirect object.
