Keats has some great odes:
Ode to a Grecian Urn

Ode to a Nightingale

As does Shelly:
Ode to a Skylark

An Ode is basically a poem that is praising something as if you are speaking directly TO it.
Now for the rest of it:
Sensory details: think of ways you can describe books by describing how it feels (physically), smells, or sounds (pages..etc.)
Simile: a comparison using like or as "Fast as a Speeding Train"
Metaphor: a comparison that doesn't use like or as "Stone cold"
Personification: when you give an object or animal human characteristics. "The tree danced in the wind."
Alliteration: repeating consonant sounds "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" (but you don't have to go that far 3-4 times in a sentence is good)
Onomatopeia: words that sound like the noise they make "Bang" "Splat"

M$"The repetition of a sound in consecutive words is called Alliteration. It is stylistic device which repeats a consonant sound for effect."
