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.
Published in 1937, this was Seussâ first children's book. His original title for the book was âA Story That No One Can Beat.â Maybe this was the reason it was rejected by 27 publishers before eventually being picked up by Vanguard Press. Yes, it seems nearly 30 publishers couldnât figure out a way to make money off a silly Dr. Seuss book. 6.
