Answer

rhythm

Explanation

The beat created by the sounds of the words in a poem is often referred to as the rhythm of the poetry. This depends on the syllables in a line or stanza of a poem and the emphasis placed on those syllables. The use of rhymes will influence rhythm, but the term "rhyme" specifically refers to the way that sounds at the end of lines echo each other, which is not necessarily tied to beat or rhythm. Therefore, the correct term which represents the beat in a poem would be "rhythm".
