I can't get to sleep
There's so much I want to see
Hours are cherished

i love it as well. i think sometimes brevity can best describe the feeling of something better than 100 words.

So well put! One reason I dislike sleep is also that life is so precious that it seems like we waste it in our unconciousness. And the brevity adds to it, that's the point of a haiku. Well done.

I do like it, but i think you could totally add on to it! I'd be very interested in reading a longer version. This is very good though! Check out some of my work if you have a sec!

I like it! I think it relates to most teenagers who can`t sleep due to what you said in your poem. Keep up the good work, and can you check out some of my poems? Thanks, keep on writing!
