Poetry should I publish or give away?

Question: Poetry should I publish or give away!?

I got a card in the mail asking me to send a certain poem to a lady because she said it touched her soul!.
It has not been published so there isn't a copyright on it, I was told that I should snail mail it to myself and keep the envelope unopened and put up somewhere safe!?

I just want to share the poem freely not make a profit someday with my writings!. Am I being overly gracious about it!?

What if you sign th poem and give it to the lady, that way if you become rich and famous, it will be worth a lot more to her!.!.just an idea!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

you could ask the woman to sign a contract to not reproduce anything, you could just put the copyright logo on it!. Most people don't look things up!. Honestly, I think you will be fine!. If she's a fan, she won't claim it as her own!. What a great compliment though, that would just make me all warm inside haha!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Either mail it to yourself or send it in to your local paper and see if they'll publish it!. If they do, you can send her a copy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

make sure you sent it to yourself certified!.!.!.!. <legal>

I guess it's up to you and your heart!.!.!.!?!?!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
