Similar to our everyday conversations long line poems have an effect on the reader.
Considering the fact that the longer the lines in the poem the more lengthy it will be on paper, additionally when a poem has long line break it <em>increases</em> the pace at which the reader reads the poem and allows the writer to express feelings more clearly to the reader.
Unfortunately I don't know what poem you're talking about but I can provide some insight on the word luminous!

Explanation:
When an author uses a descriptive text structure, his/her purpose is to create a vivid image of something in readers' minds. In this case, the author wants us to be able to picture how beautiful the banana split was. He/She gives us a detailed illustration of the ingredients, their positions and order, their flavors.

The excerpt is an example of stream of consciousness as an experimental narrative form.
We are transported into the mind of Septimus, and words such as wavered, quivered, burst, and throb give us a sense of his state of mind. He has recently returned from the war but is clearly suffering post-traumatic stress, as depicted in this scene.
