How can i get my poetry published and copyrighted?

I write ALOT of poetry and I am told it is very inspiring. I am also told on many occasions that I should submit it to contest to get my poetry published. I feel as if I should not just plublish one if I do decide I want to publish, so how would I go about getting my poetry published and copyrighted?

"...think of it differently, ask yourself "how can I reach more readers than the book would offer", and then you will see it for what it is here, simply more people see these posts on threads than they do actual published poetry in books, so what you have to think about here is your persona, content, and venue, that is, famous authors are giving up the publishing world for direct sales through the internet, something reflected in the fact that amazon sold more kendel ebook readers last year than they did physical books, and no, I have nothing against the old book world, just that if you adapt yourself to this internet early, you will have a head start on those who are still trying to crack open the diminishing market share of the old publishing mediums..."
