For decades, most of my prints have come with a commentary sheet. Sometimes that's somewhat literary/poetic (the poetic is always coherent, never faux haiku). Maybe just a couple of short paragraphs.
I also did that with a monthly/quarterly B&W inkjet print exchange, as many as a dozen prints each time, ultimately getting fed up when many participants stopped sharing thoughts/observations and switched to bragging about equipment.
So... I moved to a similar exchange that REQUIRES notes/commentary with submitted prints. Very gratifying.
How about you? Do you want the print you share to stand totally non-verbally? Do you include commentary with prints?
