Near Saint Avold, France,
More than ten thousand heroes
Whisper from the soil.
The man
draws water.

from a spring on a mountain
Ten thousand
weary footsteps
For a drink

A bit of paper
blown high
Lone gull in an empty sky
Listen closely
hear it cry
Ten thousand others close by
lad
the world is all good
except
for the bad
just a fad
for the past
ten thousand years
and a tad
how sad
how bad
human nature
not a fad?
It was a red space Yeti.
Claimed crazy teddy.
They like shandy lime
on planet number nine.
Ten thousand years in time
Before his claim may be denied.
This morning I drove to get my lot
The antique fair and love what I got
Great day for a fair
One thing I must share
Ten thousand people and one porta pot

If a skylark flies ten thousand
feet
above the uncaring world
Has not that lark ten thousand
feet,
faster with every whirl,
To fall
and smash in pieces on the
ground.
Hair today, gone tomorrow,
My follicles falling to my sorrow,
Ten thousand dollars to my surgeon,
Some people think I might be splurgin',
But I can't wait for my new hair to grow.
noble sir albert
perched on his nose
a primitive sundial
a bird without toes
growth's been phenomenal
sir albert cooed
as Big Ben came into view
ten thousand cats mewed
Ten thousand years at sea in a star-ship’s dome
I sail the galaxy, I scribble letters home.
And fifty thousand years pass before I learn
Earth-folks’ loyal tears weep for my return.

keeper of the field
guarding ten thousand bushel
defending harvest

How can these dupes called humans
shine a light of ten thousand lumens,
writing something wise or smart
with feeling and with heart?
These morons walking on two feet,
if you ask me, are obsolete.
Ten thousand apologies do no good
should the offense injure me
Delicate, the affairs of my heart
~ think before you cleave them apart
All those times
Mouths of different
History of war,
Mistrust,
Insecurity.
Ten thousand years
Excuses for killing,
Mocking,
Insecurity.
The Stupid's brethren,
Bloody children.
Ten thousand hooves and horns on the Devil's run
Lighting crashing, thunder rolling, all Hell has broke loose
A nightmare, full speed ahead

THE WINDUP
THE PITCH
BALL THREE
YOU FEEL THE WEIGHT
OF
TEN THOUSAND EYES
ON YOU
STRIKE TWO
FULL COUNT
BACK
UP AGAINST THE WALL
HIT THE FREAKING BALL
HIT IT FAR
WITH ALL YOUR CLOUT
SHOW THEM ALL
THE WAY OUT.
Got up at 3:00 AM, sure had enough sleep
Coffee at 10:00, made me ready to dance and leap
Thought I might as well rise
Stead of giving it a try
Got up to ten thousand, counting all those damn sheep!
Ten-thousand deep-sea divers standing on me
~ Twenty-thousand legs under the sea

If I was a farmer,
I’d cherish what we’d achieved
Throughout ten thousand years
Towns, cities built on our sweat
Civilisation itself conceived
Yet fertile ground for ill thought fears.
Bite Size Poem no.39 Poetry Contest
Down south of a dirty delta town
after double-winged dusters sweep low
White hats, bent backs and bloody hands
sway to the rhythm of summer snow fields
Backed by a choir of ten thousand crickets
reaching up to touch heaven with a song
A Mount Vernon daddy long-legs
was pregnant with ten thousand eggs.
You might call what she did a shameful deed
with a Monticello centipede,
and yet...not long after Valley Forge,
that monstrous army defeated a proud King George.
A Jewel
A jewel among
Ten thousand tears
One raindrop clear
One drop among a host
Which sends
A spearing shaft
Of purest crystal light
The low shine
Of a winter’s sun
Suspended in a liquid lens
On the leafless thorn.
The self-proclaimed prophets speak
to warn end-time signs eclipse will wreak.
Ten-thousand eclipes have come and gone,
while human carnage carries on.
Be more cautious of a terrorist attack
than the sun and moon's cosmic act.
