Hullo. Here for a quick review~

Okay, so this was lovely. It was passionate in that subtle, serene way. It was simple, yet profound. Kudos on that! I especially liked how you talk about all the great poets, and then talk about your own dreams. You compare yourself to them by not comparing yourself to them, and you're attempting to follow in their footsteps, right? There were a couple of places where your verse was a bit ambiguous, though:

I promise myself
only a few, to hold my
mind in wonder through sleep

Only a few what? You hast confuddled me.

flies; in it's wake a master fade

This should be "its" not "it's." "Its" conveys possession while "it's" is simply a shorter version of "it is."

"Writing is mind traveling, destination unknown."

As was stated in the review below, simplicity is what's in play and simplicity is the way to go. I enjoyed the poem because it does give off a lyrical 'feel' upon the minds of readers. This is good! The theme was beautiful and seems to me to be an unspoken desire or wish of every poet.

I found the voice of the poem quite humble submitting to the fact that thought talent the persona has, she refuses to acknowledge it. Honestly, as a poet when you read the works of other poet, you hit one that amazes you and you begin to wonder, ''who am I to review such beauty!'' That's what I feel; for now I clearly know that I am a novice in the machinations of different style of poetic writing.

Tend your flame!

Isha here to review again, as requested!

And wow, this one, I really liked. There isn't much here that I want to pick apart, because the poem was fairly simple, and I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to be. As an ode to the greats, a way of thanking them for being awesome (although, Poe isn't my favourite, but I don't think that's something that needs to be discussed here xD), you did absolutely excellent. I'm actually glad that you didn't clutter it with metaphors and giant strings of imagery. There are some things that require getting the point across, and that's what this did.

Which also means that this review will probably be pretty short and not too helpful, because there's not much I see that's worth picking apart.

This line:

but, oh, how my mind thrums!
