To the Editor:

I’m a Jersey native, visiting LBI for our yearly summer trip. I wrote this poem, “Overextention,” inspired by observing my 2-year-old son at the beach a few days ago.

Last year, you published my poem “My Happy Place” in one of the July editions in honor of my late Aunt Joann, whose beach house we visit each year in Beach Haven.
