Why I Do Not Care About Copyright

I don`t care at all what you do with my poems....

you can steal them,laugh at them or cut them up to make blackmail letters for your boss,you can eat them or smoke them ( as long as you bake them for two
hours in an oven),you can sing them in the toilet,kiss them, spray them on a wall
in the underground in Berlin,burn them,cover them with paint, leave them at midnight in front of a poem orphanage,or make love to them on the backseat of
an old Ford.

you can even ( if you have nothing better to do) read them..

and I hope one day my poems will grow up
and run about the park on a Summer evening.

I LOVE this. Sing them in the toilet is so unique. I get so annoyed when I see people write bad poems and put this big copyright notice under them as if anybody would WANT to steal that stuff. But I bet you are a good poet and this is a good way to feel about your work. We all want to be read. There is ONE thing that maybe you care about?? What about someone using your poem in a contest for money? It happened to me once right here at soup and they lost their prize, but I got nothing either haha

Thanks for the review.There is no money to be made in poetry, even established poets have `day `jobs as academics or journalists. I just want to be read, and am pleased that there are sites like this

Awwwwwww....this is sweet. Gave me some pretty good ideas! ;) I hope and wish my words live on after me. Thanks for the visit to my rather LONG piece of writing today. Welcome to the soup.
