Simile- This is a literary device used for comparison between one thing and another thing of another kind. It is usually used to emphasise on the quality of something. The comparison is usually carried out by words such as 'like' or 'as'. Example- The poem 'A Red, Red Rose' by Robert Burns has a line in which he says- "O my Luve is like a red, red rose" here Luve is being compared to a red rose.
Personification- It is a literary/ poetic device used to give human characteristics or attributes to non - living objects or animals. For instance, any object can speak, walk and move around like any normal person would do. But this is not possible in real life as it is just a poetic device. Example- in the poem 'Sumatran Tiger' by Anonymous, the tiger has been given human characterisitics. The tiger has been said to be proud and fearless
Irony- This is a literary device used to emphasise on something by stating two completely opposite things. For example- in the poem 'Ozymandias' by Percy Bysshe Shelley, the pedestal of the statue says "mighty and despair". These are two completely opposite things stated to emphasise on something in particular.
Alliteration- This is a poetic device which involves the repitition of same sounding words . This is used mostly to make the poem sound more rhymed and funnier. For example in the poem 'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe uses alliteration. Like "weak and weary".
Hyperbole- This is a literary device that involves exaggeration. For instance in William Wordsworth's poem 'I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud', he talks about seeing many daffodils and says that it looked like the spread of daffodils was as large as the stars in the milky way.
