With HP Lovecraft's birthday coming up (born on Aug. 20, 1890), my latest blog post presents his poem "The House", first published in 1920.

It's a bit spooky, a bit eerie, but also oddly comforting, as so much of Lovecraft's writing tends to be.

The post contains a vocabulary study exercise for English language learners.

(If you accidentally delete a post about a tractor factory, you have to post it again. I don’t make the rules.)

When I was teaching English in Hungary, this one textbook had the most inexplicable practice sentences. If I’m having a bad day, my husband can still cheer me up by saying, “You are the prettiest girl in the tractor factory.”

This week's #poetry post on the blog presents Rainer Maria Rilke's short poem 'In April', originally published in 1902.

Rilke takes us to a rainy April day—and a moment in which the rain subsides and the sunshine breaks through. The reader is gently enveloped in stillness, made a participant in nature’s comforting slumbering silence.

As always, there's a short vocabulary exercise for ESL learners.

"So sweet love seemed that April morn,
When first we kissed beside the thorn..."

Those are the opening lines of this week's featured #poetry post on the my #blog, written by Robert Seymour Bridges.
