Definition: The act of pulling back or withdrawing, as from something dangerous, or unpleasant.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “retreat,” it’s quite a treat! The dictionary gives us a good start, you see, “Pulling back” and "withdrawing," for you and me. Think of a soldier in battle, brave and bold, When things get too hot, a story to be told. They might “retreat,” step back with care, To safety and rest, beyond compare! Or maybe it’s a feeling, a bit of a frown, Someone wants to "retreat," leave the scene down. Like when you're tired, and need some peace, A quiet “retreat,” a moment’s release! So, “retreat” means to move away with grace, From trouble or discomfort, finding your space. Does that make sense? Any questions for me?
