Sites to help:
RhymeZone.com
Thesaurus.com
Merriam-Webster.com Use this site for syllables. I’ve used several online counters and too many have given different counts for the same word, so I use the dictionary now. Also, in some parts of the English speaking world, the syllables may come out in the spoken language a bit differently. And that’s okay. Write to enjoy, too learn, and yes, try to get the syllables right, but above all create and enjoy.

I can’t say this one was a breeze…
My Energy Drink
Morning! Warm! I slip back inside,
inside my sweltering cocoon,
as the furnace races to noon,
as I shelter from the fire tide.
I let the icy water slide,
slip glide down my throat; rippled chills
and shivered bones, roast-fired frills,
cooled, refreshed with every sip,
a wet splashed lift to heat zone zip,
the rolling dome of fevered thrills.

I think you did a really good job. “Fire tide” is an apt description of rising temperatures. The contrast with the icy water sliding is luscious!
