The website below might be somewhat helpful... I hope...

As for "alliteration" for an instance,

(Quote):
"Alliteration: Phrases like ‘spotted shaft’ and ‘a Boy and Barefoot’ create music in the poem and strengthen the impact of the images. The alliteration shows how natural a child Dickinson was in her boy-like antics."

I haven't read any of the poems listed in your post, but I do know a few things about Emily Dickinson's usual rhyme scheme. For example, she is known to use what is called a Hymn Rhym. She learned it from the songs of church and it looks like this:

A
B
C
B

She uses assonance and consonance in her rhymes so it might be difficult to detect them. Assonance is the use of long vowel sounds, and Consonance is the use of consonant sounds. Both can be used to achieve a kind of rhyme, not similar to the common form of rhyme that is easily detected. Reading the poem aloud may help you detect the rhyme scheme.
