Roller Coaster Man

action photo of rollercoaster tracks

    Climbing round ladders

    of rickety frames

    flying down chutes

    faster and then

    Climbing with burden

    upon steel girder

    wondering, worrying

    why this world is

    whirring

    out of order?

    Fast wooden fervor

    without time to plan

    the next loop

    upside down hoop

    shaking his brain

    hoping to recoup

    Roller coaster man

    Climbing high, high

    higher!

    Arms in the air

    steady tracks

    not there?!

    Free fall of hope

    crashing in disrepair

    despaired of parts

    waiting for his next dare

    Roller coaster man

    destiny declared

    climbing

    careening

    sucking

    candied carnival air.

    Jay Mora-Shihadeh was born in the greater metropolitan area of Philadelphia, Pa. He attended The University of the Arts, in Philadelphia, Pa. receiving a B.F.A. in painting and drawing, as well as a certificate in Art Therapy. Jay’s artwork has evolved from experimenting with representational to abstract expressionism. He employs bold color that is direct and expressive. Physical, sometimes brutal uses of line shape and gesture are the hallmarks of his work. The artwork he creates today leans toward the mysterious. The work is emotional and somewhat ethereal in its exploration of color and form. He strives to grasp the unknown, the subconscious. As both an artist and a poet, spontaneity and process is as important to him as the end result. Currently he resides in Sarasota, FL

    “The best thing for being sad ... is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. ... That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.” --- T.H. White
