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.
The bookâs runaway success inspired Seuss, his wife Helen, and Phyllis Cerf to found Beginner Books, a division of Random House that would publish books designed to help children learn to read. In the fall of 1958, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back and four other titles launched the Beginner Books series, which would soon include P. D. Eastmanâs Go, Dog.
