Copyright for my poetry?

Question

How can I go about getting copyright for my poetry?

Answer 1

A cheap and simple way of documenting what you wrote is to send yourself a copy in the mail, certified. You can put several in one envelope.

If there is ever a problem, you will have a sealed, date stamped record.

You can also get it Notarized.

In general, however, there is little profit in plagiarizing poetry, so you probably have little to worry about.

Answer 2

Unless you have plenty money you can do a poor man's patten.
Simply mail yourself about 10 poems at a time, in a well sealed envelope. Address it to yourself. Do not ever open this, as it is your copyright, without going through the Library of Congress, it is around $200.00 per copy or more, this way it's a couple of stamps. do not ever open, once dated and stamped by U.S. mail, this is your proof of authenticity. Address it to a permanent address to yourself and from yourself. This is what I've done with my songs in 1991. Over 100 lyrics and poems. Last year Katrina took it and everything else I own. That's the only thing. You must not ever be in such a frenzy that you leave it behind, i realize now, this was a priority, along with childhood pictures, family heirlooms and my house and all of it's contents, and people say, hey, you got your family and yourself out, well, no, I did not. I died in there that day.
God bless us all...
