Literary devices help me with my poem please?

ok so awhile back I saw a question that asked for help writing a poem with assonance, consonance, and alitteration, I think it was for her final for some college class

So I thought it would be fun to try and write one that was also entirely in prose, I am wondering if I am getting this right and if you have ideas to help, because usually I don't follow such a structured plan in writing my poems and this is really hard

so let me know what you think, also if I am using them properly, I had to look all of them up and I don't think I used them properly

if you could explain them a little more clearly because the text book definitions kind of led me to this

Skip along, belong, to the dancing of the night

Fire's roaring, soaring high, stars are flowing, glowing bright

Music's beat and stomping feet, pounding hounding drums with might

Time stands still, until we fill the blackened skies with blue and light

What we show is all we know and dancing, chancing love and fun

The beats meet feet that dance and run

That's all I have so far, it's difficult like I said, I thought that the rhymes had to be sequential but now I am thinking it's possible that they don't

Update:

@navi could you elaborate a bit more please....

are you saying that the rhyme scheme is too predictable to be enjoyable? The intent was to create a poem entirely in prose, which for me is a very hard thing to do.

    It doesn't always have to be sequential, as long as some where they connect. This unfortunately is to predictable.
