What tense is my poem written in?

Here is my poem:

A drop of water like a glistening jewel,

Slipping and sliding down the leaf like a waterslide,

It dives off and plunges into the tranquil river below,

As if it was diving off a diving board

Ripples formed 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 return to its natural harmony

I'm listening to those sounds,

Chirping birds up high in the trees

Babbling water slithering against the shingly edges

Guiding the river the way

Have I made any errors?

It needs to be in one tense like present tense or past tense.

    present tense

    very nice

    ('showing the river the way', or just 'guiding the river'?)

    added--'formed' is not really wrong, but 'form' i think would be better. you don't have anything else past tense.

Later in existence chastened for convictions and no appeals back there in the schoolyard a pool of blood congeals. Who can blame this one for breaking all the guidelines after classes discovered back then on an identical time as in school.
