Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
First advice: don't bother with rhyme. Modern poetry, at least the best of it, does not rhyme. So that helps a bit.
Now, not in order of how you might arrange these, but in order you asked:
Alliteration:
My brother: a bastion, a bulwark in blue jeans
Is he a geek, a girl, a goateed freak? (you can cite this also as internal vowel sounds, long ee)
Onomatopoeia:
Lanky black hair shushes over his tattoos
Chortling jokes to giggle away my tears
He may stick out like a sore thumb (that is your simile)
in your Starbucks sipping world (a metaphor, and alliteration)
but he is Sirius Black (another metaphor)
come to rescue me.
Not all heroes dress in white;
Though dressed in black he is my knight. ( rhymed couplet)
Now go and polish that up and see what you can do with it. You have everything you need. And you know what? I think he is lucky to have you for a sister.
