Original Paragraph:
Towering trees surround the sides of my tree fort. Forest sounds sing me to sleep when I stay the night in my favorite place. Occasionally, when the moon is out, I hear the movement of animals in the brush. In a flash I'm awake and sitting up. When the noise ceases, I can sleep again. The only time I can't go back to sleep is when the coyotes laugh at me from the hills behind our property. Laughing coyotes can make any kid's mind play tricks.

Now I am going to write an imitation of this paragraph:
Posters of pirates and funny sayings cut from magazies cover the wall of my crowded room. Billy Joel or Guns N' Roses lull me to sleep when I hunker down for the night. Once in awhile, I'll look out my bedroom window and see the clear skies with beautiful stars peeping out to see me. I force the covers off and kneel by my window to get a closer look. After I get cold enough, I pull on my Aspen Colorado sweatshirt and rub my arms violently. I finally crawl back into bed after I have gotten a good enough look and drift off to sleep.

Nicely done. I've been watching each night the last few months to see if Venus shows up to sing me to sleep, or if it will be too cloudy....
