My Shadow

This is yet another exercise in poetry, this time with trochaic tetrameter.

"Will you follow me this day?"
Called I to my shadow dark
"If the sun shines, then I may
By your side, there will I hark."

All day long he follows me
Fastened to my side
Always will I talk of "we",
He, from me he cannot hide.

Only in the dark of night
Does he leave me by myself
Frolicking until the light
With the books upon my shelf.
