“O” uses line breaks to allow different sentences to relate to one another. The first example is:
“is a galleon stranded in flowers. Around it
The wind. Even the high roar of a leaf-mulcher”
“Around it” Pulls back to the flowers and gives off a feeling of an envelope. This could be used to create a subconscious image of an Island, which itself is enveloped in water. Sometimes, people escape to an island to escape change. On an Island there can be virtually no outside influence, but it always will change. Your surroundings are flowers, seasonal at best.
The last two stanzas give insight to the meaning of the Island. It seems as if the island is not of constant value itself, but is always changing and unpredictable. I think Island is the word that is “so right it trembles”. The island can always be changing, whether because of the people, the lack of people, the weather, and anything else. The trembling must be the shakiness.
My blog post is an island. I started off writing about line breaks and how they are used, and ended in this way.
“Neither I nor my neighbor
Would be amazed. Sometimes”
