I'm glad you like my poem!

Anand is setting up a contrast between quick/spikey/sharp and slow/curved/round. So the reason to break after "annuals", in the middle of that list of stripey or spikey S words, is to contrast the time they last with the irises that "live for years".

"Ring" and "void" are matched images: there's an emptiness at the center of the circle.
