Keening

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

The ancient ritual involved participants keening together to honor their ancestors.

The keening shriek of the fireworks lit up the night sky.

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

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
