On December 6th, in the welcoming ambiance of the Prijedor Theater, something extraordinary happened—a day that the children and all those present will carry in their hearts for a long time to come. A theater auditorium filled to the very last seat—over 300 children, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and smiles, united in their love for poetry and companionship.
The great poets of children’s literature, Ljubivoje Ršumović Ršum and Mirjana Bulatović, transformed the theater into a magical world of verse. Ršumović, the unmatched master of children’s poetry, with his charisma and wise words, brought laughter, joy, and an invitation to explore the world of poetry.
Mirjana Bulatović, tender and inspiring, wove warmth and beauty into her stories and poems, leaving each child with the realization that words are not only powerful but also wonderfully fun. The children recited, laughed, and eagerly answered questions. They were curious and honest, with that special spark in their eyes that only poetry can ignite. They were far from phones and games, immersed in a world where words, smiles, and applause meant everything.
With her soothing voice and the gentle notes of her guitar, Milica Milović added a magical touch to the poetry of the greats. Her melodies echoed through the theater, uniting everyone present as children laughed, clapped, and sang along.
For a fleeting moment, it felt as though time itself had stood still. The children’s faces glowed with happiness, their energy illuminating every corner of the hall.
And Nikola, though absent in body, was there—in every smile and every moment of that beautiful gathering. It felt as if he watched over his friends from above, his spirit present in their joy. His mission to spread love and happiness continued to live on through this enchantment.
This poetry matinee in Prijedor was not merely an event—it was a reminder of what matters most in life: love, joy, and compassion. One hour away from the world of screens, yet so close to the wonder of real life. This evening will not be just a memory, but the inspiration for many new stories and poems to come.
