Good 5-7-5 poem, proper syllable count.
Nice choice of accompanying picture in good bright setting.
Poem paints it's own picture in the mind.

Well done. Good luck. Frankeddy

Since you asked for suggestions I'd say you start with the last line, ie By the river side. Secondly, butterflies don't hang around on the floor. Try another location like branches or leaves to suit the number of syllables required.

    Starting with the last line could of been just as well, possibly better. Secondly, however the butterflies were flapping around the floor by the river. But point taken, thank you.

This is a good poem for a crippled poem. Had it been allowed to grow , be as big as it takes for the writer to finish it not the reader it would have been nice. No offence, I just feel that rules were not meant for poetry

Lovely pairing of photo and poem in your well-composed 5/7/5 piece
good alliteration of forest floor/flap
I also like the pairing of butterflies/river side
you create a vivid visual, which in turn creates a serene mood :-) Brooke
