What is rhythm in poetry?

Just like in music, rhythm in poetry refer to a certain regularity or pattern found in each line that allows us to read it as if we are singing it. In other words, we can read each line with a certain, specific pace.

That is why option 1 seems to be the most rhythmic among the lines provided. It uses internal rhyme with the words "places," "faces" and "traces", which makes us read that line with a musical regularity, with pauses in specific places that help create rhythm.
