Shadow

rising with the sun
shelter from the daytime heat
eaten by the night

I love the personification in the last line. If this Haiku didn't have a title I could deduce it just from your clever wording. Cheers - Gary

I love the last line Warren, " Eaten by the night" Shadows are our constant companions, indeed only the night offers them sleep! Happy Saturday1
