Elements of Poetry

The poetic scheme of this poem I found very difficult. The plan was to combine three
elements of poetry:
Iambic pentameter, alliteration and assonance, following this precise sequence throughout
the twelve verses and ending with an iambic pentameter couplet. The scheme is as follows:
A=iambic pentameter
B= alliteration
C= assonance
ABCABCABCABCAA

The elements of poetry are vast. 
They are constituents of a composite entity. 
A poets usage depends whether he or she  
has need for verse necessitating scheme. 
In this poem my planned blueprint is to  
combine three of these contrasting elements 
together forming feet- unstressed and stressed 
and alliterative verse along with assonance  
in this specific order and compositional ordeal. 
This group of verse became triadic tools 
needless to say, needful contrivances  
for the success of  the sequential scheme. 
The poems conclusion follows couplet rules: 
The dual verses, meter, rhyming tools.
