  I’m not sure if you can put a contact form in a widget, but you can certainly put one on a page and put a text or image link to it in a text widget. The page can be visible from your menu or, if you use a custom menu, it can be hidden:

  contact form info:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  custom menus:

  Menus

  It’s not wise to put your email address (or any personal info) in a public blog or you’ll get inundated with spam or worse. However, a contact form will send all messages directly to your email address and nobody will see your contact details then unless you reply to them.

  for further info, just look on the other support pages. :)
