Digital poetry has been an important and innovative genre in many disciplines. This paper describes two separate tools ("Emerge" and "Thread") that were used to support teacher professional development during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results suggest that within one month, over 120 poems at each of two separate schools were created, showing both a willingness of the teachers to engage in this form of professional development and a desire of the students to share their writing. The paper includes an invitation to freely collaborate in both the use of and research on digital poetry for teacher education.
