The short version;

If you want to post any original content here on eTater (Poetry, music, art and photography) by default they are considered to be under the Creative Commons public License which, in short, means people are free to Share, copy, distribute and transmit the work, and in case of any reuse or distribution, you must give credit to the author and make clear to others the license terms of the work. The best way to do this is with a link to the web page where it was originally posted.
