In front of / afront
Would afront mean the same as in front of? ...I'm trying to write a poetry so I won't use it verbally.

It's not used in that way today, though it was in Shakespeares's time, and probably later.

I would be cautious in using the word today because it is very uncommon and it can be confused with affront (an insult, rebuke, offense ).
Affront also had the same archaic meaning as afront. (facing)
