  We calculate electromagnetic pion form factors with an analytic model for
$\alpha_{\rm s}(Q^2)$ which is infrared (IR) finite without invoking a
``freezing'' hypothesis. We show that for the asymptotic pion distribution
amplitude, $F_{\pi ^{0}\gamma ^{*}\gamma}$ agrees well with the data, whereas
the IR-enhanced hard contribution to $F_{\pi}$ and the soft (nonfactorizing)
part can jointly account for the data.
