The first one, David. Still i'm in doubt about grammatical correctness in my haiku. I meant "open" as an adjective, instead of a verb. Should i put the third line as it is ( a door open) or "an open door"?

Any suggestion?

I like this a lot. Pre-modifying the noun makes the haiku flow. If you were to post-modify 'door' i think you would add an unnecessary complexity to the haiku.

just a thought!!
