As a community grows gaining more great members who all produce amazing content, you still need to take pause and look at those who have been there from the start.

In our @BuddyUp community we are fortunate enough to be blessed with quite a few members who provided us with a solid foundation so we can all grow together and reach even deeper waters.

It’s our mission at BuddyUP to grow together, support each other and highlight the fantastic content that is created by our members. As part of that mission, we showcase talented content creators within the BuddyUP community, who also display a positive attitude and a community mindset, through our weekly curation post, Hook ‘Em Up!

THIS WEEK’S CATCH

@Lymepoet

First up we have @Lymepoet, she was first featured in the Second Edition of Hook 'Em Up and is still going from strength to strength staying true to her blog, she has the uncanny ability to find amazing spots to visit and as ever stays true to her namesake with great poetry.

In her most recent post she gives us a tour of the Pirates' Treasure (Comoara Piratilor) playground in Constanta, Romania.

To be honest, we have been to this mall a few days back and passed in front of this playground a few times without knowing how great it was.

Fortunately after a few attempts @Lymepoet she got to finally give us a tour of a playground that is fun and a visual treat.

It was only today that we discovered what a jewel it was.

Consistently providing us with great spots, visuals and reading such as her ageless series on Montreal Street Art and ever-growing range of poetry we are proud to have her as a member of our @BuddyUp family.

Be sure to check out her latest post and give her a follow or comment if you have not yet.

@Poetrybyjeremy

@Poetrybyjeremy has had a busy couple of months since his last feature in the First Edition of Hook 'Em Up, you can read a bit more about this in his personal update post.

Having completely published all the amazing poems from his independently published book Welcome to the Sombre Days which is also available from Amazon to own, he continues to produce quality content and engagement on a daily basis.

From receiving a @curie for his in-depth book reviews to being one of the most insightful commenters on steem, I am sure I speak for everyone that we are proud to call @Poetrybyjeremy a member of our @BuddyUp family.

You press your teeth
hard against my skin.

True to his raw and unbridled emotion @Poetrybyjeremy brings us a literary visual treat with his most recent poem Bite Marks which you can thoroughly enjoy here.

@Dreemsteem

The ever evolving @Dreemsteem has been a cheerleader for @BuddyUp from day one, having been featured in the First Edition of Hook 'Em Up alongside @Poetrybyjeremy she has had a massive couple of months on steem.

Stashing away her pirate booty for awhile @Dreemsteem has continued to be one of the great cheerleaders on steem starting a new initiative called the @welcomewagon to assist promising new content creators in finding their way in the ocean of steem.

Her most recent post is a #Ulog telling us about how she is helping her husband out by working at the sugar shack for the summer, a bit of a dilemma for a health-conscious business person.

From a business standpoint, I'm not "selling" them enough.

I cannot in good conscious write about @Dreemsteem and not mention Fireflies, a fantastic fiction series she has been publishing every Wednesday for the past few months.

Fireflies was only on the third chapter with her last feature in Hook 'Em Up, this story that she has created with love has now reached its end as she published Chapter 32, to accompany the finale of her story, she has a contest for the person who correctly guesses the last three words of Fireflies.

If you have not read Fireflies yet be sure to check it out. I am sure we all wonder what is next, and until we find out you can enjoy what seems to be some promising sugar dealing Ulogs and daily comments from the Queen of commenting.
