Can you help me with ideas for my descriptive poem?

Question

The poem that I need to write has to be very descriptive and original. No cliche'  my English teacher said.

So far I've written:
A (adjective) drop of crystal clear water
Slipping, sliding down a leaf like a waterslide
It dives off and plunges into the (adjective) river below
As if it was diving off a diving board

Ripples forming in the glass like river, breaking the surface
Showing that the river was disturbed by its presence
------------------------stuck on --------------------------
----------------------these lines----------------------------

I'm listening to those sounds
Chirping birds up high in the trees
Water splashing against the rocky edges
Guiding the river the way

could you help me with those two lines and some descriptive words? or maybe tell me to change something in the poem. 

Any ideas would really help! Thanks heaps!

for the first adjective, you could just change the sentence around "A clear drop of crystal water". I think that would be better than any other adjective you could put in there.

The second adjective could be tranquil. It dives off and plunges into the tranquil river below



Ripples forming in the glass like river, breaking the surface
Showing that the river was disturbed by its presence
But only to accommodate the drop as one of its own
And to return to it's natural harmony
