on to the next
in to the breach
unto the horizon
just out of reach

over to the side
in view of the sea
nearby lies you
next to lies me

between or betwixt
because of, you say
under or over
apart from the fray

during & after
alongside we go
amid all the laughter
around, to & fro

before you, just me
after you, we two
until the end, even beyond
together we do

Remembering that a preposition, as some folks like to say, is anything a cat can do,
they’re also little connecting words that show direction, usually used before a noun or
pronoun. You’ll find a lot of them in this poem because I love me some prepositions!
