Advice to the Young Poet

Always pay your rent.
And,
on time.
Otherwise,
the only poem
you'll write
will be about
how lonely
it is
here
under the stars.

...on time is the operative word here. That helps to build one's credit. Lying on the ground looking up at the stars sounds like a lost art - but it's quite a nice place to be!

Nice to meet you, Brett!

Thanks for your review Kelly.
I wasn't really trying to offer any real advice, I just wanted to put the reader under those stars!
If I still had a choice I'd live a life where rent wasn't required and the stars were constant. (Who knows, it's not too late!)
The young poet who actually is living like that would consider my advice inane.
Nice to meet you, too.
