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
