I never knew Jheri Curl was spelled like that. crazy. I like the first two lines, lines 4 and 5, don't see the tie-in so much though I suppose it doesn't have to have one. But then the rest of it doesn't tie together for me (though I'm obnoxiously tired, on my way to bed); I really like the last two lines as well, but everything's all a discordant jumble. :/

Lol, god's wife has a sense of humor she/he actually gave you a two after I get all zeroes and after he/she gives many people zeroes, I guess I get to give the zero this time

I gave it a 6. I thought there should be one more "Why?"

I just don't get it. Would you please explain it to me?
In its form, the ghazal is a short poem rarely of more than a dozen couplets in the same metre. It always opens with a rhyming couplet called matla. The rhyme of the opening couplet is repeated at the end of second line in each succeeding verse, so that the rhyming pattern may be represented as AA, BA, CA, DA, and so on. In addition to the restriction of rhyme, the ghazal also observes the convention of radif. Radif demands that a portion of the first line -- comprising not more than two or three words -- immediately preceding the rhyme-word at the end, should rhyme with its counterpart in the second line of the opening couplet, and afterwards alternately throughout the poem. The opening couplet of the ghazal is always a representative couplet: it sets the mood and tone of the poem and prepares us for its proper appreciation. The last couplet of the ghazal called makta often includes the pen-name of the poet, and is more personal than general in its tone and intent. Here the poet may express his own state of mind, or describe his religious faith, or pray for his beloved, or indulge in poetic self-praise. The different couplets of the ghazal are not bound by the unity and consistency of thought. Each couplet is a self-sufficient unit, detachable and quotable, generally containing the complete expression of an idea.

It has a nature theme as it should, unlike most haikus on ranker, but the rhyme kills it. Try inverting the line; like splinters...cliffs. Since a haiku is so small to begin with it seems strange to use up syllables with words like and & but.
I especialy like the last couplet, nice build up.
Stand in front of the mirror and read this out loud. Let me know what you think.

You ought to have looked up the appropriate spelling for jheri curl before you spelled it like the name of that actress who played Seven-of-Nine on Star Trek:Voyager, which I bet big money you have taped and filed somewhere at your house.

If you're going to take that title, at least make an attempt at something worthwile and/or somewhat pleasing to read. *5*
