This is how it could look
Solemn, touching, simple autumn pond farewell scene: large, dignified, gold-crowned frog king — portly, serious, deeply ceremonial nature spirit who takes annual pre-hibernation farewell to his kingdom extremely seriously — standing on favourite lily pad in middle of autumn pond, making formal farewell speech to subjects. Frog king: crown slightly too big, one arm raised in regal farewell gesture, expression of profound solemnity with tiniest hint of drama. Subjects: other frogs of various sizes on lily pads, some looking moved, some bored, one small frog taking notes. Pond: autumn leaves floating on surface, water reflecting last warm autumn colours. Under water: dimly visible fish also preparing for winter.
