There is a feeling of sadness sin your words as a relationship ends. I like the repeating lines "My soul is bruised and just passing through". They impact your poem with strong feelings.

Comment from Patty Palmer
So true, when things go awry in a relationship, sometimes you wonder why. But if you think deeply, you'll find you probably know. I agree that when you find yourself on the bad end of a relationship too many times, it might be smart to remain single! Good luck with your contest.

Patty, sometimes we just have to grow a little.
Comment from Margaret Bednar
As always, my hat is off to anyone who attempts such a structured poem. To be able to pull it off and have it make sense is a winner to me! A nice double rondeau.

Margaret, I appreciate your validation on this poem.
Comment from Mary Kay Bonfante
Very sad but elicits great sympathy; sorrow for a relationship that fell by the wayside, apparently due to the other party's unwillingness to give. It's the story of how one person attempts to make peace with the separation, rather than living in a painfully compromised relationship. If it's a true story reflected here, I am sorry for your pain; if you've attempted to get inside someone's perspective, you've done a fantastic job.

Glad to hear it, JLR :-)
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear JLR, I have got to trust you on this one, ( for my eyes are getting blurry ) for the following the rules of this
Double Rondeau. As for the message that it brings, I am glad that it is only fiction, for the taste that it leaves behind is bitter.

Comment from RShipp
Wow! I could feel the intensity of the shattered dreams of a relationship gone wrong.
I hope 'he' remembers how worthy he was and that often others can be very selfish. When we first meet them, we don't realize thier twistedness.
Thanks for carefully describing what a Double Rondeau was. I had no idea.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written double Rondeau about love and life that can be disappointing at times and we may wonder if it will not be better to walk solo without someone who bruise our soul every day.

Comment from Pantygynt
I never understood the need for this form as it seems to be merely a 'more of the same' type of form. the 'rondeau redoublé' on the other hand is a whole new box of tricks. Still, none of that is your fault. Metre is not really an issue as the originals, in the French language, did not employ metre as writers in English understand it. So although excellent metrical versions in the English language exist there are those who argue that non-metrical versions are closer to the original.
While I am here, I must ask what happened to you last week. You were missed and I got quite worried that you might have fallen victim to the dreaded Covid-19
I liked the differencing you introduced between the the two, particularly the use of feminine endings in the first.

My dear friend, thank you for reaching out. Fortunately, no I am still staying away, this far, from Covid... however, my sister-in-law who lives across town from us had a heart event and we were at the hospital. We are her medical power of attorney, as it turned out she was found with a bad heart valve which has now been repaired.

I am so pleased the emergency has been sorted. I hope you will still find yourself able to sign up for the October, metre class.
-
I plan on it and so value you for your instruction and wisdom!
-
I am looking forward to hearing you have taken the plunge.

"Passing through your life", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill, it was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Sad poem. I could feel the loss and sorrow. The words worked well with your tone. Good presentation, the image fit so well with your words as well. Happy writing!
