#31PoeticFormsIn31Days #15Kyrielle

You're a pygmy hippo
Your belly lies quite low
Round, smooth and lovely
More to you than we see

Fueled on many grasses
Despite your short paces
You can run at speed
More to you than we see

Skin shiny and oily
Natural sun screen
Designed per-fectly
More to you than we see

A Kyrielle poem is made up of four line stanzas with each line having eight syllables and the last line repeating in each stanza:

aabB  
ccbB 
ddbB 
eebB
