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 (http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl106.html)

Hi, meecy12!
If your poetry is metrical enough, that is, if it has some kind of rhythm to it, then it could probably be set to music.
If you would like to know how to do that, please let me know.
Thanks!

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.

Hi again, meecy12!
My offer still stands about how you might go about putting your poetry to music.
Thanks!

You could go to poeticpower.com and enter a poem their or you could look on the internet to find out how you publish your opoems because that's what I'm trying to do

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!

Google is a good place to start searching, trust me you'll almost always find what you are looking for, good has a lot of articles on poetry and publishing.
