We like to have members write their own poems. But if you post an Italian poem and then give your English translation, then the TRANSLATION is your work. So go ahead.
If you mean, why did I tell you about the topic with poems, it's because I _often_ tell new members about it. The poems are a device to help members get to know each other.
If you look in Professor's Writing Club and find a topic titled "Sonnets Here," that contains poems which describe, or talk to, particular members of TDL.
