I'm trying to think, do we have ANYTHING that gets even close to the criteria of 10k years? Yes, there's the bible and stuff, but that's not even close to 10k years old. It might be impossible on earth.

Your best bet may be to come up with some mathematical representation of the haiku, like the arecibo message, and send thousands of copies of it into the solar system, and hope that 10k years from now we will have the technology to find and decipher them.

The bible as it's written is only a couple thousand years old, but the stories therein are quite possibly tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of years old, as these they were conveyed orally long before they were ever written.
