The Mystery of the Na

I was once really new to our Poetry Soup, and I knew I should try to join in with the group; post my poems on-site to be read by a few, and then give it a whirl, join a contest or two. Soon a couple of them were a win, a good score; was on top of the world, so I entered one more. But to my big surprise when that contest was done, my sad eyes saw in fact that my write had not won. I clicked on 'Contest Entries' and saw it was there. But, behold, a strange sign near that one, I declare! A N/A- what was that? Very weird, was this right? Could not find what it meant anywhere on the site. So I looked up N/A on the Internet, but what I found was not good, left me still in a rut. This N/A symbolized a long list, now for me, my head spun to fit in which of these it could be?? N/A…Not Applicable………Did I not follow rules? N/A…Not Available………Did my entry get lost? N/A…No Answer………Did they try to call me? N/A…Not Authorized………Did I need an okay? N/A…No Action………Did I fail to take steps? N/A…Negative Approach………Did I say something wrong? N/A…Not Analyzed………Should my write be explained? N/A…No Acknowledgement………Did I fail to respond? N/A…No Account………Did PS lose my file? I Soup-Mailed contest judge and her answer therein, “Well you see, the N/A means your piece did not win!" Now I still do not know what N/A represents When my poems don't win in Soup contest events!
