This paper examines the elusive connection between kiwi fruit and romantic poetry, particularly in the sonnets of Shakespeare. Our research team conducted a thorough analysis of Shakespeare's sonnets, counting the number of times kiwi fruit is mentioned in each poem and correlating that data with various measures of amorous language. Surprisingly, our findings suggest that kiwi fruit may indeed play a significant role in eliciting feelings of love and desire. Our study provides a fresh perspective on the cultivation and consumption of kiwi fruit, and highlights the need for further research in this important and underserved area of scholarship.
