Cornucopia Charm

Her goodies stuffed inside, petrified fine.
     String of pearls, perfectly round, peachy keen.
Courting spicy cerise bottle of wine.
     Silver flute melody apt to be seen.
An hourglass figure — chalice of a queen.
     Rotund seedless grapes impress her red lips.
Gossamer stockings, two to hug her hips.
     The goat horn, receptive to one lover.
Cleopatra’s adorned with beauty tips —
     Her charm, Marc Antony will discover.
