On LEA4 till the end of May, you can experience Caledonia Skytower’s Poetry of the Planets. And it is an experience!
Inspired by Gustav Holst’s ‘The Planets”, an orchestral suite from 1918, seven planets (though Jupiter is still in the making at the moment of the writing of this blog) have been made for you to visit.
In each sphere you will find an immersive space, decorated in theme, with a link to Holst’s piece of the corresponding planet.
As the environment wraps around you and you feel the urge to slow down and take your time, (at least that was the effect it had on me), you are invited to write a poem.
You will find more information and background on the accompanying blog.
Mars – Bringer of War

Caledonia is of course known for her Storytelling abilities with the Seanchai Library and it should not be a surprise that she found a way to incorporate so many storytelling aspects in this build. The environment, the music, the sounds, it all adds up to an amazing group of worlds to get lost in and be inspired.
The planets all have a very different feel to them, and so you will probably be attracted by one more than the others. My mind was instantly drawn to Saturn, its simplicity beautiful and daunting.


All in all, well worth a bit of your time, if not a lot. And expect to want to come back for seconds and thirds.
A friend of mine found the planets also very inspiring: Mars Will Send No More
