I cannot remember all but I will explain few of the simpler ones.
Simile : comparison between two unlike things with the use of 'like' or 'as'.
Metaphor : comparison between two unlike things having hidden meaning.
Metonymy : substitution of an attribute for that of a thing.
Oxymoron : using opposite words together to create a deeper effect, eg, "quiet rage".
Alliteration : two subsequent words beginning with the same sound
Symbolism : again, hidden meaning
Allusion : talking about a non-existent thing, eg, a mermaid.
Anaphora : when two lines of poem begin with same word
Repetition : repetition of words in the same line
