Keening

The keening stench of decay emanated from the garbage dumpster, making it difficult to pass by.

The keening cries of the wounded soldier could be heard from the battlefield.

The abandoned house stood in the distance, its broken windows and overgrown garden giving it a keening presence.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The air raid siren's keening pierced through the city, signaling imminent danger.

The traditional keening brought tears to the eyes of all those who listened, capturing the pain of loss in its rawest form.

The keening aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the bakery.
