Poetry is a type of speech, what is good in it is good and what is bad in it is bad, so poetry is not blamed for it essence, but it is its content that matters. Ibn Qudaamah may Allaah have mercy upon him said: ‘There is no difference of opinion that poetry is permissible, this is the view of the companions and scholars may Allaah be pleased with them. Poetry is needed in order to know the Arabic language and use it as evidence when interpreting the Quran, and in order to know the Words of Allaah and the sayings of the Prophet sallallaahu
alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ).'Many companions may Allaah be pleased with them recited poetry before the Prophet sallallaahualayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) this is indeed mentioned in many narrations reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim may Allaah have mercy upon them and mentioned by other reporters of Prophetic narrations. It is confirmed that the Prophet sallallaahualayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) ordered Hassaan may Allaah be pleased with him to recite poetry for him.The texts in the Quran did not dispraise poets and the Prophet sallallaahualayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) did not defame the poets. It is only the poets who lied and exaggerated who were dispraised. Usually, the poets tell lies, slander chaste women and defame innocents, so that is why they are dispraised in their totality, but those who did not do so, were not dispraised. Allaah Says (which means): {And the poets – [only] the deviators follow them. Do you not see that in every valley they roam? And that they say what they do not do? Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allaah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged.}[Quran 26:222-227]. Moreover, the Sunnah did not dispraise poetry as a whole but it only dispraised reciting too much of it to an extent that it prevents someone from reading the Quran, following the Sunnah and seeking religious knowledge, or when it is erotic poetry that include courting women and so forth. For more benefits, please refer to Fatwa 86790.Allaah Knows best.

Following is a post among discussion about Poetry in Qaseeda Burda Shareef:

In principle, anything that promotes immortality or shirk is forbidden. That said, good art and literature generally require good literary taste. What one person may find immoral by looking at the apparent meaning, another may find acceptable looking at the deeper meaning. With that, one should draw the line where they themselves start feeling an internal discomfort. Such matters can’t be bound by generalized rules.

So it actually depends on intentions
-
Not necessarily. As I stated above, it mainly depends upon one’s own ability to appreciate the content.
-
just wanted to clarify if it is disrespectful to use wine metaphors for divine teaching of Allah
-
If you find it disrespectful then don’t listen to it. Again as I have stated above, such matters can’t be bound by generalized rules.
