: I read another message about copywriting songs but I was wondering about poems. I have a few that I would like to make sure that they stay mine and someone doesnt copy what I wrote. I entered one in a contest online. Is it automaticly copywrited? Any info would be helpful. Thank you

Dear April,
The copyright law covers what you create. Registration enables enforcement. If a copyright notice is used, you have a good start on getting protection.
