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 enjoyed watching the pounding surf of Tsurigasaki beach…

Grief
The suddenness is soon in reach,
the loss, the sorrow, and the guilt,
and ’tis so deep, the soul doth wilt,
yet there is so much left to teach.
Oh, the lure of a quiet beach,
sand sifting between outstretched toes,
massaged comfort to ease the blows,
the weight of wearying grief,
for we are shaped to seek relief,
to embrace life as chapters close.

Oh, the lure of a quiet beach,

massaged comfort to ease the blows,
the grim weight of wearying grief,
for we are shaped to seek relief,
