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 Decision Point
I open that door just a crack,
and know that I might rue this day
but there’s no choice, no other way,
this pull where there’s no going back,
no sense of we’re all right, Jack.
This conversation is a must.
Once voiced, it can’t be undiscussed,
for there are things I need to ask.
That is my role, my grueling task:
Once done, I pray we still have trust.
