The alphabet of poetry

Poets they say live on the edge of reality
And yet everyday they look in the mirror
And say "God is that me ?"

Feelings they say are a matter of necessity
And yet everyday they look in the mirror
And say "God is that me ?"

Poems they say are a form of sophistry
Do they know that there are more than
That there are more than twenty six letters in the alphabet of poetry ?
