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.
This one was originally published in 1931 and it is some of his earliest work. Arguably his most famous work, The Cat in the Hat wasnât published until 27 years later. Dr. Seuss had 49 books published during his lifetime. That is counting only the books published under the Dr. Seuss name while he was alive. He published others as Theo LeSieg and Rosetta Stone. Also, some other books of his were published posthumously under the Dr. Seuss name. It really is amazing when you think about it.
