A good critic should probably be able to guess, but we don't all start out as good critics, so what you're suggesting is not at all a bad idea. I don't really want people to explain their meaning -- that's something I think should either sink or swim on its own -- but perhaps a little note like "experimenting with line breaks/ rhyme scheme/ building an extended metaphor" would be very helpful.
It could be worse
