Sablier means hourglass in French and sept is 7 in French.
It is a pome of 7 lines.
It is syllabic: 8/6/4/2/4/6/8
It is formulaic in that the 2 syllable line ends the thought of the first three lines, is the title of the poem, and can well be the beginning of the last three lines.

My example
I Tried (Sablier Sept)
I never fulfilled all your needs
I never understood
at least you know
I tried
to stem the flow
of feelings that weren’t good
and frequently that aim succeeds.
