A MYSTERIOUS poet dubbed "the Banksy of Worcester" has been writing poems near to a city landmark.

Reader Nathan Banes captured images near to The Hive of his verse.

Mr Banes said: "Just wanted to give a shout out to the "Banksy" of poetry, whose work I have now come across twice now in Worcester.

"The first time was outside The Hive, I am not sure if it was a joint venture, but was a wonderfully written piece, and full of hope and positivity.

"The next was this morning on a disused building opposite the Hive itself, and again, what a wonderful message for all to read.

"This is not graffiti but art, and I hope to see and read many more."
