Have you ever notived the music of a waterfall?

The waterfall

One day when I was walking, I heard a wonderful sound

But unknown where it was coming from as it was all around

I listened to it very carefully and pin pointed the real source

Then gently walked towards it, I looked in wonder, it was a waterfall

At first it sounded like a piccolo, a violin and a harp

The rhythm softy sweeping, kept in time with my beating heart

As I walk along the edge, the music suddenly changed it’s tune

The beat in me grew faster like a trumpet loudly playing some romantic blues

The water ran much faster, I had trouble keeping up the pace

The sound of a drummer, a guitar and a bass were leading this fruitful race

At last I got to the waterfalls edge and much to my surprise

An orchestra was playing there right before my eyes

There were trumpets, trombones, violins, more than I could see with music all around

What was yet to come, the crescendo, the cymbals and drums gave a crashing sound

A waterfall is not a thing that just crashes to the ground

Update:

Listen to the music it makes not only in the air, but deep inside of you, even all around.

    If you're about 12 years old then it's not bad. If you're any older then it looks like the work of a 12 year old. Sorry, just being honest.

    Why give me the thumbs down?

    It's not very good. Would you rather I lied? Your use and arrangement of words is child-like e.g. the symbols and drums GAVE a crashing sound? Is that really the best verb you could have used? You are writing about the great crescendo yet making it sound like it all ends with a whimper.

    You have to be able to accept criticism if you want to improve your work. Granted, you may not rate my critique as being valuable but you'll find that many would agree with me.
