Question

I need help find the things like alliteration, rhyme, rhythm, etc., in this poem! Please help, if not, thanks I guess.

Grandma Ling
By Amy Ling

If you dig that hole deep enough
you’ll reach China, they used to tell me,
a child in a backyard to dig that hole,
I waited twenty years,
then sailed back, half way around the world.

In Taiwan I first met Grandma.
Before she came to view, I heard
her slippered feet softly measure
the tatami floor with even step;
the aqua paper-covered door slide open
and there I faced
my five foot height, sturdy legs and feet,
square forehead, high cheeks, and wide-set eyes;
my image stood before me,
acted on by fifty years.
She smiled, stretched her arms
to take to heart the eldest daughter
of her youngest son a quarter century away.
She spoke a tongue I knew no word of,
and I was sad I could not understand,
but I could hug her.
