Yours Sincerely
You tell me that I’m soppy,
Say I’m sentimental,
Call me dear.
I know that you are braver
But I’ve turned you soppy,
So you fear.
I still know your feelings are sincere.

Author guidance for This poem
According to The American Poetry Journal (the only source I could find), the rules of the Sevenling are thus:"The first three lines should contain an element of three - three connected or contrasting statements, or a list of three details, names or possibilities. This can take up all of the three lines or be contained anywhere within them. Then, lines four to six should similarly contain an element of three, connected directly or indirectly or not at all. The seventh line should act as a narrative summary or punchline or as an unusual juxtaposition. There are no set metrical rules, but being such a short form, some rhythm, metre or rhyme is desirable. To give the form a recognisable shape, it should be set out in two stanzas of three lines, with a solitary seventh, last line."
