I should tell you one anecdote about my pictorial poetry. Even if I published only 18 pictorial poems on my social network, I gathered a lot of people who started to follow my
                 work. They still do it, so I think that my decision to publish pictorial poetry was very positive for my poetry carrier in the future. At that time, I was only 17 and I went to the
                 Medical High School. In the classroom, there were two girls I liked in a special way. You can suppose that pubertal liking. One day, one of them has published an amazing
                 artistic picture of herself and I asked her to put a text of my poem “All yours” on her picture. She accepted and I was very happy. It was a real hit! A lot of likes and comments

 My first poetry book was published when I was only 17. At that time, I started to organize the first online poetry contest on the Balkans, as a unique project in the world,
 which helps the community to make better communication between Balkan artists, especially poets. Working on that project all these years, I met a lot of poets on social

 networks and I carefully watched what they published on their social networks. Reading their applications for online Balkan poetry contest – Sweet Duels (originally called
                 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

 My network's wall was really full of that poetry form. Years before, when I published poems on social networks like an amateur, I always put a picture as the background for
 my verses. At first, I was a little scared that my poetry is not good enough because I am in the beginning, so I always wanted to bring more even if I had amazing comments
 and reviews on my poems. So, trying to bring a gift for my readers' eyes I gave them more and they really loved that. My social profile became very popular because of that
