life is a haiku

A website where everything is a haiku. Anyone can write one, anyone can vote, and the best-loved rise to the top. Every haiku grows a drawing of its own generated from the words in the poem.

reverse it

Say something, then try to say it backwards. The app flips your backwards take back round and scores how close it gets to what you originally said. If it sounds a bit strange, that's because it really is.
