Copyright is automatic. If you write something, you own the copyright on it. If you write something for hire, the person who hires you owns the copyright on it. Certain jurisdictions may provide a means to register your copyright, but that is not required. You own the copyright the moment you create the work. Registration could potentially help if someone disputes your ownership of the copyright, but in practice this is not something you need to worry about. Copyright disputes really only occur as a result of complex publishing contracts, in which case it is a matter of contract law, or the creation of derivative works, in which case the question is whether copyright was violated, not who owns it. In short. The copyright is yours, and unless you are a rich and famous poet, no one is interested in violating your copyright.
