Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Extraordinary people hide, The beauty they most treasure inside, Instead, they pay attention around, To a wonderful world rich with sound. Hide and seek can be fun for awhile, Inside the mind, magicians beguile, Around the world challenges the brain, Sound manifests around us like rain. Great, good, most always misunderstood.

Thank you for loving my poem! I manually counted syllables using my fingers for each line. Thank you for telling me about a syllable counting website. I had no idea those existed. I will double check my compositions with that site going forward.
