I set my door ajar
This is only my fourth haiku. I'd love to know what you think, good or bad.
I didn't expect a haiku so soon. I like this one, especially the first line with the alliteration, the second line also is a strong image. I'm not so sure about the last line but I'll need to read it a few more times, I think it's the word ajar but I can definitely see the direction and as a whole it makes sense.
One more thing... I read elsewhere on this site that it is considered old fashioned to start each line with a capital unless it is a word like 'I'. Until I read that I did start each line with a capital, but have since stopped. It would interesting to hear other peoples opinion.
Thanks for the read, for only your fourth haiku it is very good indeed.
All the best.

And I didn't expect feedback on this so soon. It's nice to be surprised

And thanks for your comments, as always much appreciated.
I'm a bit of a sucker for alliterations, so I'm glad you liked L1.
I also think L3 is the weakest. I know the perfect expression in Danish, but unfortunately it didn't translate well into English. I'm all open ears to suggestions regarding the last line.
Yeah, I have also read that. I also used to start all my lines with a capital letter, but since I read it, I try not to do it in my longer poems. In most shorter poems, I think both capital and non-capital letters works quite well.
Thanks, and all the best,
