What do you think of this poem?

For my English class, we've been asked to write a tanka poem (Japanese poetry: 5 syllables, 7, 5, and then two more lines of seven syllables)

This is my first time writing this kind of poetry, so I'm not very confident in this, which why I want your opinion. Any critiques, suggestions, and advice would be fantastic!

"The wind did bring you

Into my heart’s empty field

And so my heart bloomed

With flowers in the dawns light

And the scars’ finally healed "

Please be honest if this isn't any good, as long you are constructive, I accept all your opinions :)

    Ah............ a nice poem. You have expressed much in these five lines. I find you were disheartened and someone's presence made it to you a day.
