Travel Haiku - Philadelphia Halloween - Eastern State Penitentiary Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Eastern State Penitentiary halloween
two minds growing out of each other
darkness and my sanity

Eastern State Penitentiary halloween
my heart heavier
than my feet

Eastern State Penitentiary halloween
every corner is a pair of
cold cold eyes

Eastern State Penitentiary halloween
frighteningly suggestive
my own mind

Get into the spirit of Halloween at one of the scariest haunted houses in the United States. Every year, the Eastern State Penitentiary—a massive gothic structure in the middle of Philadelphia—transforms into Terror Behind the Walls. Through October 31, the 11-acre prison will be waiting for you to explore its dark, abandoned cells, mess halls, and morgue with roaming guards and unruly inmates. Enter at your own risk.
