The Road of Curiouser and Curiouser

“I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.” ~Stephen King

I once turned left instead of right

and saw a really oddball sight:

the road I turned on suddenly

revealed a funny house and tree.

Who could have guessed?  This house’s hue

was lemon, pink, cornflower blue.

It had a pinwheel balcony.

It was a funny house and tree.

The tree grew tea cups from each limb,

just like a scene from Brothers Grimm

or Carroll’s Alice.  Could that be?

Uh huh.  A funny house and tree.

I made a left instead of right

and saw a funny house and tree...

 Notes:  In continuing with my January poetic form theme of Kyrielle Sonnet, here's yet another one.  Poets United Thursday Think Tank provided the prompt of 'The Road' today.  After I saw the Stephen King quote, I knew what road I would have to take to get to this poem.
