It has three. /kən.ˈsɪd.əɹd/ In American English anyway. In some dialects "poem" has two syllables; like /poˑɛm/ or /poˑɪm/. In fact, Shawn pronounces it /poˑim/. But, I think the monosyllabic /pom/ or /poʊm/ are perfectly acceptable.
Sorry for all the IPA gibberish, it's the only way really know how to clearly explain sounds anymore. I'm sure Richard can read it to you if you can't. Have a linguistically interesting day!
