Oh well done!  I really enjoyed reading these poems!  I actually liked the second the best.  I liked how you structured them with the first being the way Melkor thinks and the second, how Manwe thinks.  Of course Manwe's contains more positive descriptions and provides feelings of hope, whereas Melkor's is quite different.

This is so well done. I love these lines:

Strength! To not bend before the wind,
To not melt before the heat;
But instead grow stronger still
In beauty and in brilliance.

I like these poems, and I also really like the way you've juxtaposed Melkor and Manwe.

I really love these! As others have said they are juxtapositioned perfectly, so that you can clearly see the difference but also the truth in both of them. Manwë’s vision is the more obvious one to agree with, but it sort of makes you take a second glance to think about Melkor’s. I like how you made him not-all-evil while still seeming in character. Something about both of these creates really vivid images in my mind. In short, welol done!

Both of these are gorgeous poems!
