Haiku

Off topic, but fun fact: there's a place in Northern California called Ukiah, which is Haiku spelled backwards.

Further to this slight off-topic veer, evidently the fact of Ukiah being Haiku spelled backwards is a complete coincidence. It was originally called "Yokaya" from a Pomo (indigenous Californian) word meaning "deep valley" and later Anglicized (phoneticized?) to Ukiah. However, I am apparently not the first person to notice the phenomenon -- the city of Ukiah sponsors a Ukiahhaiku contest every spring.

If anybody's interested, entries must be received prior to April 28.
