I think there is a difference between being unclear and coming into clarity in an interesting way. What is being said doesn't have to be said blatantly if the reader is led to a clear place. That clear place may even be different for different readers, but what is written should be whole enough to have an impact.
For me a poem I love touches something inside me that isn't always said outright, but in its entirety repeatedly brings me to that same place. If the words/image/metaphor are not clear enough they don't have that cumulative effect I am looking for.
