Usually you start with a base word that has some relation to what your meaning is and then you add a descriptive word. Let yourself associate freely and include all your fantasy in the creation and don’t hesitate to mix senses ( for instance with Synesthesia). Also the use of Mythology could be a good way to create association (Thor-hammering would for instance be thunder). The combination of two words becomes a kenning. For instance “butterfly-charmer” for women.

I came upon a mysterious sight
A child sitting in the light
The sun was readable-bright
He seemed to revel in the write
Many years have passed since then
The year? I don’t remember when
The child grown, innocence flown
A teacher now, skills are honed
Remembers how in sun’s light
Reading was such a delight
His classes now held outside
Experiencing new just feels right
Proudly offers fresh insight
Teaching under readable-bright.
