Aha, you do enjoy poetry then. :-)

Here's what I have learned and heard regarding copyrights; if one says something is copyrighted then it is. Followed up by the Library of Congress filing, of course. :-) Every poet writing on this thread or any other should copyright their work then and there.

I have heard this from writers groups I have been involved with.

Oh I have always loved poetry. Since I could first read. I don't show mine tho-
Hardly anyone has seen my writtings. It is just a hobby for me so I don't know much about publishing or copyrighting. I had a few things published when I was younger, but I didn't think about copyrighting at the time.. then I closed up the books for anyone else to see. Now I just read other people's writtings.
