This refers to the "rhythm" of a poem, the pattern associated with stressed and unstressed syllables in a line.
This is different from meter which measures the audible features of poetry, and is described as the sequence of feet in a line.
Meter
The meter
stressed syllables are the syllables within a word that have the most emphasis when spokenfor example:other - the syllable "oth" is stressed and the syllable "er" is not because "er" is pronounced less that "oth"the "er" tends to sound as if it were falling away at the end of the wordcompound words tend to be double stressed because both syllables are pronounced equallyfor examplechildhood- both "child" and "hood" are pronounced fullyyou can tell which syllable is stressed by saying the word naturallyIn words of two syllables or more, at least one of the syllables is usually pronounced with extra emphasis. We can divide syllables into stressed and unstressed categories.
The word call has one syllable.
My sister's called Danielle. The correct pronunciation has two syllables. But I guess you could give it another: 'Dan-i-elle'
It is called an iamb.
That pattern is called the meter. The basic unit of meter is a foot. Meter can be described both by the rhythmic pattern of a foot and the number of feet in a line.An example is iambic pentameter, where an iamb is a foot consisting of two syllables, the first unstressed and the second stressed (as in the word "return"). The "penta" in "pentameter" comes from Greek and means five, so pentametermeans there are five metrical feet in a line.
A pattern of stressed and unstressed sounds in language is called rhythm. This rhythmic pattern is created by organizing syllables into stressed (accented) and unstressed (unaccented) beats. It helps to create a natural flow and musicality in speech.
dactyl
It is called Iambic Pentameter, a common meter in poetry consisting of an unrhymed line with five feet or accents, each foot containing an unaccented syllable and an accented syllable

Atonic
An unaccented vowel is called a schwa. It is represented by the symbol /ə/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet and is commonly found in unstressed syllables in English.
....In verse and poetry, meter is a recurring pattern of stressed (accented, or long) and unstressed (unaccented, or short) syllables in lines of a set length. For example, suppose a line contains ten syllables (set length) in which the first syllable is unstressed, the second is stressed, the third is unstressed, the fourth is stressed, and so on until the line reaches the tenth syllable. The line would look like the following one (the opening line of Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18") containing a pattern of unstressed and stressed syllables. The unstressed syllables are in blue and the stressed syllables in red.Shall I com PARE thee TO a SUM mer's DAY?Each pair of unstressed and stressed syllables makes up a unit called a foot. The line contains five feet in all, as shown next:....1.............. 2.................3..............4................ 5Shall.I..|..com.PARE..|..thee.TO..|..a.SUM..|..mer's DAY?

I do not know of a specific name for a word's stressed syllable. However, sometimes people use the phrase "accented syllable" instead of "stressed syllable."
When listening to a song, you may find yourself tapping your foot or moving in a regular manner. If so, you were responding to the "beats" of the music. Beats are the regular, repeated pulses underlying a piece of music.When listening to a piece of music we usually feel some beats more strongly than others, so that we can count a recurring pattern of loud and soft, or "accented" and "unaccented" beats. (an accent is a stress placed on a note or beat). For example, in a march we could count a ONE-two pattern, the ONE being the accented note and the beginning of the bar. The accented note is a downbeat note. In a waltz the pattern would be ONE-two-three. Most songs have a ONE-two-three-four pattern.The patterning of beats into repeated groups is called "metre". The unit of time occupied by one group of beats (that is, from one accented beat to the next) is called a bar. Metre provides a framework of bars within the sounds and silences of music occur.Therefore, a downbeat is the start of a beat bar, the start of a metre. It is stressed or accented, like the ONE in ONE-two-three-four.An upbeat is the end of a metre, or the notes proceeding the downbeat, and isn't stressed or accented
