Tragic poetic lament for lost tortoise - audio
A BELOVED lost tortoise has inspired her distraught owner to write poetry pleading for her return.
Washington woman Trisha Cook has turned to verse as her solace after losing life-long reptilian friend Henrietta - who lived with her for 33 years.
Henrietta disappeared from her home in Sandy Lane more than three weeks ago and Mrs Cook, 57, is getting frantic.
In a bid to find Henrietta, Mrs Cook has written four poems and distributed them around the area in the hope somebody may know where she is.
