This paper deals with cohesion of foregrounding in of foregrounding in Gwendolyn Brook's ''Michael is Afraid of the Storm'' and ''Martin Luther King Jr.''.This linguistic phenomenon is inevitable: it almost exists in every literary text. Foregrounding can be achieved by two ways either deviating from the norm or confining one’ self to the same norm. Gwendolyn Brook is a well- known Black African poet. The paper studies two poems written by Brook: ''Michael is Afraid of the Storm'' and ‘‘Martin Luther King Jr.’’.The poems are rich in foregrounding features: parallelism, similes, metaphors and alliteration. At the same time, they have many cohesive devices such as reference, and conjunctions.
