there isn''t really a way u can prevent ppl from stealing them. even if u put ur name on it they will just copy the poem without ur name. the only thing to do is not put poems on here unless u want to take the risk of having sum1 steal them. sry!

Here is a cheap way to copywrite something. Put it in an evelope and mail it to yourself. There will be a post mark date on the envelope. Never open it. If you ever have to go to court to prove something was yours, here is your proof. A document dated by the goverment. It's not 100% fool proof, but it still a good action.

Not sure on this web site but if you go to www.poetry.com they give you a copy write and everything as long as you agree that they are yours.

declare copyright... this, however, requires you to place your real name on the works. (there may be ways around this, but I've not looked them up).

I have recommended in the past that people write down their poems - make a copy of it, and mail it to yourself. The postmark on the envelope (do not open the mail either - you already know what's in it) is legal proof / documentation of when you wrote the piece.

But the best way is to just declare "Copyright YOUR NAME, 2004" - it is that simple.

You could put a copyright sign on the bottom or your name if you think it would help. The only way I can think of to completely protect your work from being copied is to have it published. I really don't think you have to worry about it though. If you really think someone would copy your work, just send your poems to individual columns. I'd be glad to criticize your work if you sent me some. If you do, please include your age so I can criticize it more accurately. I've taken poetry in college, so I might make a good critic.
