Dr. Sreenivasa Rao asked for any Telugu poems with one letters.
Mostly, you may come across such poems in cATu padyAlu.

These are categorized under "akshara citrAlu".
For example, these fall under a broad category which is subdivided into:
(1)  EkAkshara  (the ones Dr. KSR looks for)
       with single letter repeated.
(2) dvyakshara
(3) tryakshara
(4) OshThyanirOshTyAdi

1) EkAkshara cAtuvu

 gI||  nAninInAnu nEnunu nAni nAnu
        nAna nEnunu ninnUni nunna nannu
        nenna nunnanu ninnena nunnanAna
        ninna nEnanna nunna nannennu nanni

        (from cAtu ratna)

Couldn't find examples for the categories 2 &3.

4) caturakshara cAtuvu:

     ka||  kamalAkara kamalAkara
             kamalAkara kamala kamala kamalAkArA
             kamalAkara kamalAkara
             kamalAkaramaina kolanugani rAsudatan.

There are several fascinating poems under the category "akshara citrAlu".

When time permits, I will try to post some of those.
