how do you know when a word is accented in poetry? are there rule to emphasizing syllables? do words have fixed stresses and are always emphasized on a certain syllable? or can the poet "assign" a different syllable stress to fit the rhythm of the poem?

To help illustrate my question, consider the following two sentences:

1.) Chad bought apples, oranges, and peaches at the grocery store.

2.) Chad bought apples, oranges and peaches at the grocery store.

Which sentence is correct? I have seen people put a comma after the second item in the series (sentence #1) many times, but have also seen them omit the second comma (sentence #2).
