While many may appreciate you literary flair. Posting in the public domain is an open invitation to get you work ripped off. I have experienced this twice in the past. Secondly you need to watch the rules of forums you post on with material such as this because by doing so you could be giving up the rights to your own material.

In the unlikely event BYH was to change hands to a less than savory sort the rules agreed to upon when joining could be a problem in getting any form of publishing or copyright. Or if it was published royalties could be claimed.

From the rules:

You also agree that posting material (information, posts, topics, pictures, etc.) to our forum and website implicitly grants BackYardHerds a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-revocable license to use and change said material for the purposes of running BackYardHerds.

Posting material in the public domain that you later try to publish and copyright can make life very difficult.
