Keening

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

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

The widow sat alone in her empty house, keening softly for the husband she had lost.

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

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The keening tone of his voice conveyed the depth of his heartbreak.
