There are times when you'd like to have a certain type of post appear in a widget for use in your sidebar or (in some themes) your header.

I use this to display a random Senryu on each page, but it will work equally well for any group of reasonably small posts.

There is the option to include the title of the post or (like I do) not.

If you want you can add a bunch of widgets, each showing a random post from a different category.
