Keening

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

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

The refugee glanced back at his war-torn homeland with keening eyes, filled with longing for a peaceful life.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

The haunting melody of the keening bagpipes played at the memorial service brought a sense of solemnity to the occasion.
