No waiting in Lines. No traffic. Read and participate in the comfort of your own home. Share your poetry with an audience from all over the world, or simply sit back, relax and enjoy the program.
If you think you have what it takes to “WAX POETIC,” register for our event and make your voice heard. At the end of the night the audience will vote and the winner will receive a prize. If you prefer to just sit back and enjoy, we welcome you too.
Poets are encouraged and welcome to read their own original work, or participants can read select poetry in the public domain.
All the world is indeed a stage at Wax Poetic. Join us and keep the poetic muse alive. Space is limited.
