There are many poetic devices.used to create a powerful, memorable poem. 

Following are some poetic devices that may help you in your exam:

Example: His dreams dried up like a raisin in the sun. 

Metaphor:

A comparison between two unlike things without using the words like or as. 

Example:

Imagery:

It is based on the five senses to create an image in the reader's mind. 

Example:

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;

Repetition:

Repeating words, phrases, or lines for poetic effect.

Example: 

To the swinging and the ringing
of the bells, bells, bells--

Onomatopoeia:
