Association for education in,
appreciation of, and the mutual enjoyment
of poetry
To encourage members in improving knowledge
and skill in writing and reading of poetry
To make mutual contribution to a general
interest in and for quality of poetry
in our society and the world
To provide educational instruction and guidance
to those
interested in the art of poetry.
Dreams and wishes, hopes and prayer,
A poet's fortune for all to share.
Will calm the storm and seas within,
When happy hearts connect to Pen.
