Writing Poetry

I’ve written several (over 60) poems and a handful of songs. I enjoy doing this and would like to combine them all to create a small book or an album. But, don’t I have to be copyrighted? I just don’t know where to start and don’t have the knowledge to get where I want to go. HELP?

I like to write poetry, i would like to write some for my family, but i would like to write them in something nice, any ideas please.

I want to Enter Online Poetry contests And/or publish my poetry.

I live in the USA just in case you need to know.
