Hi ace!
How strange it is that different lines appeal to different people. Personally, I find your Senryu highly striking. It certainly makes one think. It's so sad...maybe somebody died and it's the first breakfast without that person? Silence can be so loud...
Keep 'em coming!

Been critiquing the haikus and sewnuru's of others...so felt I should give everyone a shot at one of mine:
Quiet
The morning despairs; silence across the table; a still death of love.
The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
"There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction."
Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
