Okay...
Take your best bar you've ever written in an open mic. (One bar, just one).
Maximize and lengthen that bar by a few "stanzas" while going into more depth or by executing different things with language that you didn't otherwise.
This is poetry. It doesn't have to rhyme to "activate" something in the reader, which is what it intends to do. It's like fancier fortune cookie strips, only it's really not fancy at all. Some writers are blunt with it, others are extravagant. Pick your approach.
Good luck, bro.
