{po'e} is not wrong, but why not use {be}?
Also, instead of {se benji zi'o} you could use {preja}.
I don't like using {zi'o} when it can be avoided, but
that's just my taste.
 
>.i le selvla be zo galtu .e zo dizlo cu se pilno co ckini

This one is tricky, because you are describing something
as being the meaning of both words, when what you
probably mean is to say that the two meanings are 
relatedly used. I remember we had a discussion on the 
list about this before, but I don't remember whether we 
reached any conclusion on how to say {le selvla 
be zo galtu be'o e le selvla be zo dizlo} in a more compact 
form. 

The example we used then was {le mamta be la djan 
e la meris}, which means "the mother of John and Mary",
not  "each of the mothers of John and Mary respectively".   

>.i le gusni .e le manku cu remei

This says that each of them is a pair, not that they constitute
a pair, which would be {le gusni [ku] joi le manku cu remei}.

({ku} is not really elidable there, but it should be.)

>.i .e'u le nu do tricu lo valsi cu jai zi jgari le banli zasti fai do

Did you really mean {tricu} here?


>lu ko na fesxaksu le do temci ca le donri .a le nicte tu'u

I know {fesxaksu} is suggested in the gismu list, but to me
it means "to use up/consume/deplete all the waste". I don't
unsderstand how it can mean "to waste" other than by loose
keyword association. "To waste" could be {xlaxaksu} or
{selxlaxaksu} or even {palcauxaksu} in the sense of 
"squander", and something like {fesyga'i} for the sense 
of reducing something to waste, but I don't see how
{fesxaksu} works.
