Understanding

I love working in the garden
Spend hours
Growing flowers

I can cook a great meal
No waste 
to get good taste

I know lots of herbal remedies
I can make a mix
Your ills to fix

I enjoy writing poetry
I feel the timing
In the rhyming

I'm real good at doing puzzles
I see the angle 
Of the tangle

But when it comes to judging people
Can't see the meaning
In their scheming

No matter how hard I listen
I can't tell what's real
in the words they deal

I think your brilliant at judging people, and I really like this poem! - Phoenix :) (I meant that in a good way, sorry, might sound a bit rude.)

Hey babe, you should know me well enough by now, that I don't get offended by honesty. And no, it didn't seem rude to me.
