I'd suggest, A) getting a book written by an author that has a very poetic style, one where the STYLE inspires you. I always go for Gaiman or Brooks, personally. Read through a couple of your FAVORITE scenes.
B) Go OVERBOARD with your descriptions. Use prose if you have to, resort to being poetic and drawing parallels and using inferences.
Whether you're writing third person or first person, try to get into your main characters head and look out through their eyes for a minute. How do THEY see things. If they see things very dryly as well, then ramp it up. Explain HOW.
