Hi Franca. Great idea to use your bilingual skills to mask the beating heart of your verse. I love it. I was at a loss to understand what you were getting at til I copied and pasted your title into a Google translation. LOL. Yes, I cheated. Well done, my friend.

Excellent entry for the haiku contest. You gave plenty of great clues, including the nice red background. I think you'll do very, very well.
Buona Fortuna!!

    Ciao!
    Glad you noticed the red background..

    I needed a title so I thought if I put the solution in Italian 99 percent won t bother to google it .... the requirements were not to disclose the answer so I thought I would get around that like this.

    You know Italian but most don t on this board.

    I didn t provide any artwork either .. for the same reason .

    Glad you enjoyed the read!

    Best wishes for a spring weekend!

This is a very good entry for the contest. I know you are referring to the heartbeat we experience after a run or some kind of exercise. I'm Italian.
I don't speak it but I understand.

    Ciao! Yes heartbeat is correct.

    I had to put a title and I thought if I write it in Italian most won?t know what it means and will just ignore it ..

    the contest requirements after all say not to mention what we are taking about...

    Thank you for reviewing my wee poem!

A really nice poem. The meaning is well hidden and I can think of several things you could be describing. My best guess is a beating heart. Nice word choice and I like the couplet at the end. Best of luck in the contest!

    Thank you for the kind review .. yes you got it right .. that is also the translation of my title .. I was sure 99 percent would not google it ..

    I had to put a title so I decided to conceal what the mystery object was using a foreign language

    The author of the contest was very clear : do not mention the mystery object ..

    Even artwork should have been excluded .. in my opinion.

    Keep safe !

Interactions poetry. I thought I knew after reading; then I googled the total to find out I was right. The problem ( personal that it) if I were seeking to read poems, I would skip over if I couldn't read and understand, starting with the title.
But it was an excellent idea to do it; doing this can expand language outside of our own.

    Ciao! That WAS my goal

    ... seeing the author of the contest says not to mention the mystery word/object, I thought using a foreign language for my title I was pretty sure/safe most readers would just skip it..

    But as always there are exceptions to the rule ..

    you instead were enticed to check it out .. and that for some reason earned me just a 4 star review.

    Cosi è la vita .. sempre piena di sorprese .. alcune belle altre brutte.

    PS. I think the author should not have allowed artwork ...to make the challenge more engaging.

    Keep safe!

An interesting piece. My guess would be the heart. If so, it was a cleverly worded and thought out way to describe it. Great job on it and keep writing.

    Bingo !

    yes it is the heart .. I was just saying to Sugarray that who created the contest should not have allowed artwork so to make the challenge harder.

    Thank you for the kind review!

    I put my title in Italian so not to leave a hint ..( biggrin)

    Keep safe!
