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.

The Neighbor’s Cat-An Influencer
The day launches, I take a look,,
the neighbor’s cat, hanging about.
Through dusty glass, its twisted snout,
gazing in at my breakfast nook.
No masked intruder, moggy crook,
nothing more than a shaggy cat,
sitting in my Adirondack,
squashing its nose upon the pane
moaning a blithe feline refrain,
hinting that there’s something I lack.
