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.

Time
Time is such a resourceful thief,
clever, she leaves more than she takes
and as the bough of life bends, breaks,
allots a span of joy and grief.
Yes, our voyage is rather brief,
it’s varying length most unfair,
and left to chance, our cross to bear.
‘Tis up to us what we shall reap,
a sorrowed stay, a brilliant leap,
a fulfilled life, a vexed affair.
