Cheesy is defined as: [informal] of poor quality : lacking style or good taste.
By this Miriam Webster Dictionary definition, there is a word used in The South (U.S.) called "tacky"; it has a similar meaning according to the M.W. definition for English learners for cheesy (quoted).
I just answered because I saw your post first. Thatsmeonthetrain might also wish to explain his meaning. I think he means "I'm cheesy" in reference to this poem (and maybe, he feels, also that he's overly sentimental or emotional). I told him--No, this poem is romantic!
