Yes. That credit goes to Siva Reddy.

Oh God! 
Actually Siva Reddy's verses are more dynamic, free-flowing
and are directly conversational.
This 'ability to say a lot in fewer words' isn't lacking.
Only, those 'fewer words' were repeated relentlessly to reinforce
those feelings the poet considered apt to communicate.

How shall we categorize Siva Reddy's verses?

As 'The Common Predicate #kavitvam#' ?
(For most of the lines in many of his poems change in subject
only )

Dear Uday gaaroo,

I had posted the greatest-ever-Lakdi-ka-pul poem, 'Hyderabad renDu pajyaalu'
by Vadrevu Cina VeerabhadruDu long-time ago.

(I learnt that Vadrevu read it aloud (i'm sorry i wasn't there then)
 in a Lakdi-ka-pul evening for the
 first time and the great Siva Reddy himself told me that this poem
 is the best one he heard.) 

Please read Telusa (or SCIT) archives.
