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.

Street Scenes
On quiet country mornings, I
stare at the ceiling, at the wall,
allow memories, time’s recall,
to slowly drift in from the sky.
For in the blue is where they lie,
marshaled in the clouds, a small treat
from the past, litter from the street,
discarded moments, scallywags
of sleep, life’s awkward little snags,
soured some, though once remembered sweet.

I really like the rhyme of “scallywags” and “snags.” This flows well.
