Keening

The keening screech of the brakes startled the pedestrians on the busy street.

The keening mother clutched her child's lifeless body, unable to contain her grief.

The young girl gazed out the window with keening eyes, longing for her father's return.

The village came together to perform the age-old keening ritual, a poignant tribute to their departed elders.

The ancient ritual involved keening to honor the spirits of the ancestors.

The keening howl of the lost child echoed through the forest, raising concern among the search party.

The keening sound of the foghorn guided ships safely through the thick mist.
