Stressed syllables are the same regardless of whether a word appears in a poem or in prose. You don't pronounce a word differently just because it happens to be in a poem (unless the poet is taking liberties in order to force a rhyme, when it will be obvious from the context). If you make a special effort to stress certain syllables unnaturally you will end up sounding very mechanical and boring. Poetic rhythm is light and flexible and comes from the natural stresses of the words: the poet (if she or he is any good) will have seen to that.
If you want to read a poem aloud in a language that you don't know, you will have to ask someone who does know the language to help you. There are no general rules that you can apply.

In poetry, stressed syllables typically receive more emphasis or are pronounced with a slightly higher pitch than unstressed syllables. One common way to identify stress is to tap out the rhythm of the words while speaking them aloud. In many languages, stressed syllables also tend to be longer and louder than unstressed syllables, which can be a clue in identifying the stress pattern without markings.

To identify the rhythmic pattern of a poem, you can analyze the syllables in each line and how they are stressed or unstressed. This can help determine the poem's meter, such as iambic pentameter or trochaic tetrameter. Additionally, looking for patterns of rhyme and repetition can also reveal the poem's rhythmic structure.
How does iambic pentameter work?
I don't know in what sense it works, as it is difficult to imagine a non-functioning rhythm, but it is quite simply a rhythmic scheme where each line consists of ten syllables, starting with a weak one and alternating between weak and strong. They mostly sound an awful lot like this.
