My mother taught me to love poetry.
Something else is called poetry now.

Robert Browning: "Love Among the Ruins"

I prefer poems with rhyme and meter.

I like yours. They are easier to memorize. Zen-like. The Keats is good. Poindexter's lungs fixation throws his poetry off for me. Once works, twice seems like carelessness, to paraphrase a line from "The Importance of Being Earnest." (Losing one parent is tragic. Two seems like carelessness. ) i.c.'s rhyme is lost in the absence of meter which throws the poem out of balance. It's a good idea... gone wrong through inattention to detail.

The others are very good.

You're right. Eye of the beholder.
