Объяснение
Hamza Imomberdiyev, born in 1954, worked for many years as an editor at children’s publications and wrote more than ten books for children. The textbook has his poem “Ukam” (My little brother), which reflects sibling love and the value of a close person. We do not quote it; we read our own quatrain. A poem is made of stanzas and a stanza of lines. Rhyme is the similar sounds at line ends. Reading the lines, we find rhyming words and name the feeling of the poem.
