Retreat


                                                                               .

                                                           




                                                                            Beating  retreat  ceremony
                                                                        majestic elegant spectacle,at the
                                                                              closing RepublicDay.

                                                              
 
A dejected India team after losing the match



                                   




                       


                                                                                                    

   Cricket loosers retreated
    winners hooting,,jeering and teasing
            vow to take revenge.




Prompted by Haiku Horizons 15th week, haiku 'retreat'

    Retreats come in many forms. Some are ignominious.
