I would dearly love to see a haiku generator widget with the following critical features:

1. It must be simple to use, consumes little RAM to perform, and takes up a small amount of hard drive space.

2. It should generate the random haiku in japanese (kanji,hiragana, and/or katakana) in vertical format, with appropriate customizable options such as font type, size, and color.

3. It should also have the ability to translate the haiku from japanese to english simply by rolling the mouse over the haiku.

Of course, other features would be up to the widget developer.

Learn more about this poetic art at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku.

Yahoo! Widgets already has a few haiku generators (http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/?search=haiku&x=0&y=0), but I have read that the Kolaborator engine is bulky and consumes too much system resources (RAM). Thus, I was hoping that someone would create a haiku generator through an Opera widget that would be superior to the ones created for Yahoo!, more importantly, one that would not overly burden the computer's resources.

I am certain that a haiku generator widget would be a great addition to Opera's widget collection.
