things to do with poetry

There's nothing I love to do more than write poetry, but each time I write one, I just stuff it in a binder. I wish I could do something more with them but I don't know what that would be.

Organize them around some theme, subject, or occasion. You may want to consider having your work copyrighted. U.S. Copyright Office - Copyright Registration of Poetry

I love to read poetry.

I especially like poetry books which has related paintings and/or photographs in them,maybe if you have your own photographs or painting,you could print a book of your own.

Or even better make a scrapbook out of it.
With your handwritten or typed poems and anything you would like to paste around it with a theme related to the poem.

I am thinking of non profitable,but enjoyable things to do with poetry.

print and laminate a passage you especially like and paste it to the bottom of a picture frame.

meecy, i hope you come back to post again. i have a feeling you might have been more interested in options to publish. what gets published (and where poems get published) is really dependent on how good the poems are. the style of your writing will also influence your publishing options.

i think you might benefit from posting at least a poem or two. if you do, i will take a look at your work to see if i can lend a hand.

just come back!
