Let's see, I have it saved on computer, I also have a copy on disc, and I also have a typed copy!. Some is even in 2 published books!. All in all I have it stored all over in several forms!. Good question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I haven't written in some time but I have an old blue folder, it's a bit tattered!. Inside is my poetry on various pieces of paper and other "medium!." Some are neatly typed whereas some are scribbled on scraps of paper with pen!. Some are written on napkins or pieces of paper plate!. Some of them are old and faded, some still look like they were just written or printed!.

Although I am an avid computer user, when it comes to writing poetry and the like, I prefer the old methods!. I'm not sure why, I guess it's part of my poetry!.

I keep mine on my hard drive and online in several blog and poetry sites!. I used to worry that posting online made my poems vulnerable to theft and plagiarism, but I recently found out that when you publish your written works online they are actually protected!. Just the act of logging and dating your work in a public forum makes it easy to prove ownership!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I print two copies of each I post one for reference and one locked away for safe keeping!. also any technically savvy computer person can recover any poetry lost!. It remains on your hard drive even if deleted!. The only way to really lose it is to destroy your hard drive I am looking at the leaning tower of poetry right now in my corner office!. It stands easily 5 foot tall!. LOL!. One other option save it to disc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
