Serpents on the Stair
As I was striding up the stair
I saw a serpent slithering there
Some more I saw ascend today
I sighed and said "just go away!"

When I started and was wondering how to proceed, I felt somewhat sorry for the snakes getting shot by so many arrows... lol
The puzzle was just absolutely amazing and flowed beautifully to give such a wholesome joyful ending. The whole theme is a treat for the eyes and mind.
Hope to see more puzzles like this.

This is the first puzzle that i've solved whose difficulty i thought LMD overrated, what a lovely and smooth puzzle, every deduction cleanly pointed at the next place to look.
