First of all, thanks so much for that sweet review reply - I was feeling down, and now I'm feeling elated. (: I'm so glad to be an inspiration to someone.

On to your poetry (which I'm beginning to seriously fall in love with) -

Great start - your images are crisp and fresh, and such words like "prow," "jagged," "celery," "gouging," and "lucent" really give the piece texture.

This line: "up, up and green, green poking" is a very physical line, and moves the beanstalk upwards - but I think that one of the greens should be changed to another adjective. The repetition with "up" makes the piece move, but the double "green" just isn't as effective. Another chance to utilize that excellent vocabulary of yours!

Make "beesting" two words. (: Comma after strange. I think it might be neat to add the word "in" after "is" in the second line, so it reads: "where everything is in a swirl" so that swirl is a state of being. "Bee sting" is a great word there, contrasting and complimenting the word "blessing."

"Swift" and "cold" feel like kind of weak adjectives compared to the others, don't you think? Another vocabulary opportunity!

Very resonant last line. Excellent work.

"Onto the prow..." Great diction!

"The judaic sun." Stunning imagery and meaning here!

"This dead white space where nothing thrives." Frigid. Honest. Heart-wrenching! :D
