In Japanese this is very easy because most nouns also another meaning as a verb. Examples in English are: leaves / to go away; sprout/ to grow up; blossom / bloom; fall / autumn etc. The knowledge and use of pivot words is paramount in the writing of tanka and very useful in renga, also.
Synopsis. Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He published his first children's book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, under the name of Dr. Seuss in 1937. Next came a string of best sellers, including The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham.
Try them and you may, I say. Green Eggs and Ham is a classic children's book written and illustrated by Dr Seuss. The book originated with a wager between Seuss and his publisher Bennett Cerf, who bet $50 that Seuss couldn't write a book using just 50 words after the completion of The Cat in the Hat, which used 220.
