In the first senryu, I used Katakana for ウルトラマン because that is the name of a Japanese superhero. In the second senryu, I used ダン as an onomatopoeia for the sound that a kendama (a japanese toy) would make when you fail at it. In the last senryu, although ワンワン is the sound that a dog makes, I used it to mean a dog. The last line "ナンバーワン！" is all in English, which is why I put the entire line in Katakana. The effect of the Katakana in these senryu is that it makes the flow of the poems better. It also stands out a little more to bring attention to the subjects and important parts of the senryu.
The third senryu is my favorite. It was creative how you chose to use the sound a dog makes in japanese to mean the actual dog. Plus the whole poem was creative. That dog looks so happy too. He totally won.
