But on my last haiku I was told you shouldn't use adjectives. So maybe change out sleepy for sleeping maybe Tongue or drifting might work

This was quite evocative for me. However, I did struggle a bit with "sleepy hue." Partly, I think, because I find it hard to picture white as being sleepy. Also, the repetition of the root word sleep in two successive lines is not ideal. This is already good, and I think a minor tweak or two would kick it up another notch.
