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 Pandemic Blahs
She talks about Covid fatigue,
the pandemic blahs, the burn-out,
that sense that life is one long drought,
the pros, the cons, all the intrigue,
to vax or not, a simple gigue.
Hands thrown up, breathe a giant sigh,
the truth, oft-spoken, yet, a lie,
there is no clear path, life’s too short,
you do your best, then, tu es mort.
The dance of life: it makes you cry.
