Keening

The mournful sound of keening filled the air as the funeral procession made its way to the cemetery.

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

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

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

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.

The haunting melody of keening echoed through the ancient ruins, commemorating the souls who had departed.
