Most of the same notes can be reused for any poem.
Especially love poems, they seem to be a big thing.

Assonance - makes it more lyrical. More memorable, so the object of love may remember it. Or just so anyone will remember it.
Alliteration - see assonance.
Metaphor - gives more vivid imagery to the poem, helps to convey the particular ideas more clearly.
Simile - see metaphor.
Pronouns - the use of "I" and "you" make it more personal and more heart-felt, like they are speaking directly as opposed to using the more seemingly cold 3rd person. In this case you can start ranting on about how you feel like you're invading on the poet's personal work and their emotions and whatever.
Punctuation - a lack of punctuation, run on lines, means the poet is agitated or upset. Or that they just have a lot of things to say, just apply it to the particular poem. A lot of punctuation, many full stops and things, means they're taking their time. I've not used that particular one for describing poetry, I'd tend to only use punctuation in the case of run on lines and no full stops.
Word Use - the poet may be using words with positive association for a reason, or words with negative association similarly. They might even be using the two of them together to create contrast.

Okay that's all I can remember off the top of my head, my nonexistant english notes are in school.

Tbh if you just know a few poems off by heart, and have a good knowledge of the english language you can pretty much bluff your way through the poetry section of the exam

.....I hope
