Keening

The howling wind created a keening sound as it swept through the narrow alleyways.

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

The keening odor of a skunk made everyone hold their breath as they passed by.

The eerie silence of the forest was broken only by the keening call of a distant owl.

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

The eagle soared in the sky, keening its majestic call.

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